   voltage and current readings (which gets you a VA figure which can then be   
   used with the real power reading to obtain a PF figure). I have to say,   
   I've never felt the need to make such measurements.   
      
     The bottom line, regarding that useless watt meter of yours is that you   
   should replace it with an actual Kill-A-Watt (or better) meter if you want   
   to make reasonably accurate measurements of your computer kit's power   
   consumption.
