[RE-wrenches] XW connection to PC?

[Jon Haeme]

Hi Jim,

Xantrex has a XW configuration tool with a USB to Xanbus adapter and  
XW config software that is used for firmware upgrades and adjusting  
settings on connected devices. I don't know if it can be used for  
data acquisition. I haven't used one yet so I can't tell you how it  
works.
