Description
The WattsVIEW 50 kW sensor comes with a USB cable and plugs directly into your computer. It measures Volts, Amps, Watts, Amp hours, and Watt Hours. This data is sent once each second to your computer through the USB cable. It uses RS232 serial communication protocal. You can write your own software or use the WattsVIEW software. Note: There are 3rd parties that sell wireless USB options for your convenience. The free WattsVIEW software displays data for up to 10 sensors at one time and performs real time Watt Hour (KWH) and Amp Hour calculations. Please test drive the software now by going to downloads and make sure it meets your needs before purchasing the sensor. The advantage this model has over the WattsVIEW serial product is that it uses a USB plug which connects directly to your computer. WHATS IN THE BOX:
