New instrument; Power meter #99

Open cweitat opened 5 years ago

cweitat commented 5 years ago

Actual Behaviour Currently there is no instrument that is able to measure watts.

Expected Behaviour There should be an instrument to measure the watts Can also integrate watts to multimeter, oscilloscope , etc

Would you like to work on the issue?

Anyone.

Well, I think there's no direct way to measure power. Will have to connect a known resistor to measure current and then measure the voltage drop across the equipment to calculate I^2R. Not sure about the practicality of this method though. :thinking:

Hardware based solution would be better. Moving this to pslab-hardware repo
