Not knowing how it is measured and the nature of the noise, I realized I had *assumed* rms and 1 sigma to be the same, but in fact I was not sure. The data sheet does say "at 1 sigma", so I wanted to be accurate and not make assumptions, this is time-nuts after all :-) Let's be honest, if I had not corrected myself, you would probably have commented, and rightfully so, that the data sheet actually said "at 1 sigma" :-) I am trying to learn, I am just a little slow...
