Kilowatt Hour Meter with interface [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Todd,

Do you know if there will be a way to connect remotely, or will a laptop be
needed? I've been talking with the guys at Outback for quite a while now
and, if 1/2 of what they say actually works in the field, I bet we'll all
sleep better.

I suppose you all must know that Advanced Energy went bankrupt yesterday
(speaking of sleeping better) This is bad news for those of us with five
year warrantees out there! Yikes!

Matt
