:POWer:QUALity:TYPE

Command Syntax
:POWer:QUALity:TYPE <quality>
<quality> ::= {FACTor | REAL | APParent | REACtive | CRESt | ANGLe}
The :POWer:QUALity:TYPE command selects the type of measurement to
make in the power quality analysis:
• FACTor — Power Factor — Ratio of the actual power to the apparent
• REAL — Real (Actual) Power — The portion of power flow that, averaged
• APParent — Apparent Power — The portion of power flow due to stored
• REACtive — Reactive Power — The difference between apparent power
• CRESt — Crest Factor — Crest factor is the ratio between the
• ANGLe — Phase Angle — In the power triangle (the right triangle where
Query Syntax
