How does the PA1000 differentiate between leading and lagging power factor? It does not appear to. Is there a way to determine if power factor is leading or lagging based on other measurements?

The PA1000 does not have a way to differentiate between leading and lagging power factor. Though you could determine it using the waveform view.
