:MEASure Power Commands

:MEASure:REACtive

Command Syntax
:MEASure:REACtive [<source1>][,<source2>]
<source1>, <source2> ::= {CHANnel<n>}
<n> ::= 1 to (# analog channels) in NR1 format
The :MEASure:REACtive command installs a reactive power 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.
Reactive power is a measure of power quality. It is the difference between
apparent power and real power due to reactance. Using the power
triangle (the right triangle where apparent_power
reactive_power
Reactive power is measured in VAR (Volts- Amps- Reactive).
Query Syntax
:MEASure:REACtive? [<source1>][,<source2>]
The :MEASure:REACtive query returns the measured reactive power.
Return Format
<return_value><NL>
<return_value> ::= the reactive power value in NR3 format
