Apparent power, Active power, reactive power and power factor

I want to know if have a way to measure apparent power, active power and reactive power at LabVIEW.

I know some formulas but the results I'm getting for some tests isn't correct from what I know about apparent, active and reactive power.

 

 

Thanks

The math to convert between these factors is trivial.  Where are you having trouble?  You can do this math with the simple block diagram math primitives or use a formula node.  Post the code you have so far so we can see where your problems are.
