Default dBFS

Also, what reference level does an analog peak-reading meter
use?

Hi,

Some had responded here to my recent inquiry on levels that dBFS is a
peak measurement.

If an RMS measurement needs to be made for a digital signal (i.e., on a
digital mixing console or a ProTools plugin), what units are utilized? I
thought they were dBFS, i.e., that dBFS was an RMS measurement.
Apparently I am incorrect. Somebody please set me straight.
