My Bird Model 43 Instruction book says:
"---designed to measure power flow and load match in 50 ohm coaxial
transmission lines."
I`ve used it many times.


Would you agree it is indirectly measuring joules/sec
not watts/sec? That would be energy flow.

actually, its not measure energy or power, its measuring voltage and current
and presenting you with the result of a calculation that represents power.
