Command Syntax
:MEASure:APParent [<source1>][,<source2>]
<source1>, <source2> ::= {CHANnel<n>}
<n> ::= 1 to (# analog channels) in NR1 format
The :MEASure:APParent command installs an apparent 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.
Apparent power is a measure of power quality. It is the portion of AC line
power flow due to stored energy which returns to the source in each
