[RE-wrenches] Recording Volt Meter

[Christopher Warfel]

We use Egauge with good success.  Their technical support has been very 
good in the past but I haven't had to use them in a year or so. They are 
a high end product so more expensive than some other options, but you 
can move them around to various sites easily.  You can also hook them up 
permanently. I have had one for at least five years now on my system.


Here is what is happening on my system now.  Chris
