SNR in ISIS

Hello.

In ISIS's profile tab, clicking FWHM a window appears with several calculations.
There are three different values for SNR.
If i am not wrong, the first value is SNR = Average/Deviation

What about SNR (2) and SNR (3)? How are they calculated?

Which of those SNR should be my goal if i want to reach SNR = 100?

Thanks for advice.

David Cejudo.

There's a copy of the DER SNR spreadsheet in the files area of the astronomical spectroscopy group if you want to check it out.
