Building a modular test strategy can provide great flexibility in capabilities, or the system can be tailor-made for specific requirements. Often a hybrid approach encompassing traditional box instruments is best. Here are some basics to consider in formulating an approach that will work best for you.

The Watt is the SI unit of power -- Volts times Amperes in direct-current systems, but when dealing with alternating current, if you introduce a reactive (non-resistive) load, Volts and Amps are no longer in phase and trigonometry enters the equation.
