The rms display appears only when the checked mean square has an exact root. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Rms is shown only when exact

A mean square of 9 square metres has exact rms 3 metres.
