Our user-friendly software allows you to read meters which are connected to your computer, whether it be a PC, Linux box, or a Mac running OS X, and whether the meter is connected directly with one of our USB to RS-485 or RS-232 to RS-485 converters, or over a network or over the internet with the iSerial TCP/IP to Serial Converter. From this application you can set meter numbers (addresses), set passwords, reset demand to zero, and, with the optional added functionality of the paid version, have meter usage logged to a file and have monthly reports e-mailed to individual users or formatted for printing and mailing.
