1.1. INTRODUCTION
To obtain the full performance from the USB POWER METER, we recommend that you read this manual
carefully.
The USB POWER METER is a microprocessor-based power and energy meter that uses the latest
technology to provide a multitude of options in a user-friendly environment. It is a complete power meter,
which can provide a statistical analysis of your measurements. Moreover, it can be updated over the
internet by connecting the USB or the RS-232 port to a personal computer.
The USB POWER METER USB version and the RS-232 version have enhanced network capabilities that
take further advantage of the USB or RS-232 ports for data acquisition and remote control depending on
the USB POWER METER version. It can transfer data files to a PC for more sophisticated data analysis
and respond to commands through the PC interface. Although the default measurement unit is Watt, you
may also choose to measure in dBm.
Easy software upgrade
Keep in touch with the latest improvements to our user-friendly software. You can download the latest
software version anytime from our website and install it on your PC.
