When the waveform (e.g. sinusoidal, triangular, square) of the input signal is known, its crest factor, defined as the quotient (QCF) of the peak (Vp) and RMS (Vrms) values, can be used to set the constant K in the mathematical function K*X+L. The display will then show the actual Vrms value of the input signal, assuming that Vpp is the main parameter.
Example: A sine wave has a crest factor of 1.414 (√2), so the constant in the formula above will be 0.354.
