[RE-wrenches] power factor meter

[Marv Dargatz]

I'd suggest a differential voltage probe and a current probe with a two 
channel scope.  Observe both waveforms simultaneously.  Phase shift 
(PF), amplitude, waveshape, harmonics, etc all at one time.  Most 
digital scopes you can store the waveforms, download them to your 
computer, or just take a photo with your digital camera.

Take a look at BitScope.  www.bitscope.com

See Ya!
