The Interface Application (IA) software is used to setup and configure the ECM-1240 device. It is also compatible with some of the ECM-1220 functions.

The IA software performs the following tasks:

• Establishes the communication link
• Provides the user with the ability to configure the ECM device's parameters such as CT setting, packet send interval, etc.
• ECM-1240 and ECM-1220 firmware upgrades.
• Displays measurement data from the received packets.
• Provides an avenue for downloading data-logger information.

The "Engine" software is a Windows based application which runs in the background. Its primary function is to collect real-time data from one or more ECM-1240 or ECM-1220 energy consumption monitors (or combination of both) and storing the assembled binary packets to a SQLite3 database. This stored data is the source for the Dashboard software.

This software also includes system configuration tools along with additional features such as:

1. Local tabular data viewing
2. Data forwarding to other applications such as:
   • Home Automation Systems (CQC, Homeseer, etc.)

The Engine software may run without the Dashboard software if so desired.

Used to configure the EtherBee or EtherPort gateway device.

This is the Virtual COM Port Driver which is required when connecting the Serial to USB cable.
