Michael, In general, digital wattmeters have the same accuracy at any point on the scale - unlike analog wattmeters for which the accuracy is stated as a percentage of the full scale reading. On a 20 watt scale, a 25% error would be up to 4 watts! You might want to look at the specs for

That would depend on what kind of digital you are talking about. I don't think the W2 reads instantaneous peak power. That usually takes special circuitry to do . Hint: a digital slug for a bird 43 wattmeter costs way more than the meter does. Analog meters will not read properly in a digital
