[NSRCA-discussion] Watt's Up Meter

[Budd Engineering]

Bob,

The way you describe how you are using the Eagle Tree system is  
essentially the same as how I use the Watts Up meter as it records,  
stores, and displays the max values of the same parameters you  
reference.  Granted the Eagle Tree system is a much more capable  
system with its ability to record and store data as a function of  
time, but if one isn't inclined to download such data to a laptop for  
review, there isn't much practical difference.

I purchased an Eagle Tree data logger last year at the same time as  
the Watts Up meter and haven't bothered to hook it up (yet!).

Thx, Jerry
