Data record `std.ieee-1159.structure.instrument-types`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Clause 6.5 of IEEE 1159-2019 distinguishes four instrument types by capability: event indicators that compare against thresholds and count or display events, oscilloscopes and waveform recorders, power quality disturbance monitors with acquisition, database, communication and visualization stages, and other devices such as multifunction meters, revenue meters, protective relays, digital fault recorders and capacitor bank controllers whose primary function is not power quality.

Provenance. Where this record comes from and where it is used: the cited source, the record itself and the entry that cites it.

Provenance: the chain from source to entry.
