Either re-calibrate and do the V.rms measurements again, or measure V.avg in addition to V.rms and calculate V.noise = srqt (V.rms² - V.avg²).
I would actually prefer the latter approach, which works even if the auto-calibration leaves some residual offset. As it does in my DS1054Z -- which comes in at approx. 400µV noise with the same 1ms/div, 1mV/div settings, by the way, in case anyone is still looking for a reason to upgrade. ;)

AC RMS (Stdev) excludes DC offset by definition. There is separate RMS measurement that is AC+DC RMS

Ah, thanks -- I had totally overlooked the AC.RMS bit. :palm:
Just spent several minutes wondering how V.avg could possibly be larger than V.rms...
I guess this means it's bedtime for me!

$399 Rigol FTW!

Actually 100-120µV of offset is not so good as it could be . You should run self cal.

I just did!
What was the spec of the vertical offset amplifiers again?
I'm happy with 100uV. :popcorn:

It is not bad. Just trying to see where is the baseline...

I don't think Rigol specifies the allowable residual offset after self-cal. But it seems they know it's not perfect -- that's why the bias adjustment allows you to compensate for small offsets and drifts manually, right? (Section 5.10 of the manual.)
