Summary: RMS function in AD9371 Filter Wizard concflicts with existing function in MathWorks Signal Processing Toolbox function,​ leading to unexpected behavior

--
Problem: The 937x Filter Wizard has a function called "rms" defined here:
https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/ad937x-filter-wizard/blob/master/delsig_public/rms.m

This shadows the rms function in Signal Processing Toolbox (introduced in R2012a).
https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/rms.html

leading to a name space clash when both are installed.

>> which -all rms    
C:\​ProgramData\​MATLAB\​SupportPackages\​R2018a\​3P.instrset\​analogdevices9371filterwizard.instrset\​ad937x-filter-wizard-master\​delsig_public\​rms.m      
C:\​Program Files\​MATLAB\​R2018a\​toolbox\​signal\​signal\​@tall\​rms.m
C:\​Program Files\​MATLAB\​R2018a\​toolbox\​signal\​signal\​rms.m     

This can lead to unexpected behavior. For example,​ the "RWR Signal Estimation" example in Phased Array System Toolbox does not work with the Analog Devices RF Transceiver support package installed.

Only thing you can really do here is change the filename. MATLAB doesn't really namespace things and you cannot call functions by path.

yeah - change the filename to adi_rms, and then change all the calling function locations as well.
