:MEASure Power Commands
:MEASure:ANGLe
Command Syntax
:MEASure:ANGLe [<source1>][,<source2>]
<source1>, <source2> ::= {CHANnel<n>}
<n> ::= 1 to (# analog channels) in NR1 format
The :MEASure:ANGLe command installs a power phase angle measurement on
screen.
The <source1> parameter is the channel probing voltage and the <source2>
parameter is the channel probing current. These sources can also be specified by
the :MEASure:SOURce command.
Phase angle is a measure of power quality. In the
power triangle
(the right triangle
where apparent_power
2
= real_power
2
+ reactive_power
2
), phase angle is the
angle between the apparent power and the real power, indicating the amount of
reactive power. Small phase angles equate to less reactive power.
Query Syntax
:MEASure:ANGLe? [<source1>][,<source2>]
The :MEASure:ANGLe query returns the measured power phase angle in degrees.
Return Format
<return_value><NL>
<return_value> ::= the power phase angle in degrees in NR3 format
