Examples of Configurations You Can Setup
CURRENT MONITORING METHOD STYLE
Hall Effect Current Transducer (Nice because it is electrically isolated from your current carrying conductor.
Just the Circuit Board 3" X 2"
Circuit mounted on plate 4" X 2.5"
Max wire diameter able to be used with current sensor
RS232 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS 9600 BAUD, 8 Data bits, No Parity, No Flow Control

The software comes with WattsVIEW LabVIEW software which offers data logging capability and data reporting screen. This software will allow you to plot graph data from saved (tab delimited) data log text files. These same files can be imported into Excel. Perfect for testing out your solar panels or wind turbine
Pedal Power Bicycle Generators
Measure up to 50 Amps and 100 Volts power in real time using this board connected to your PC with the supplied 6 foot RS232 Serial Cable. You can capture data using WattsVIEW software written in LabVIEW programming language that is included with your purchase of this power monitor.
This wattmeter uses a hall effect transducer for measuring current. There are three key advantages to using hall effect current sensors transducers:
They can be totally isolated from another high voltage electrical system which eliminates many safety concerns
If you are not getting the resolution you want, you can loop the wire through the current clamp as many times as you want to double, triple, or quadruple the sensitivity or resolution of your sensor
Unlike the current shunt sense resistor which can have thermal temperature heat dissipation issues, the hall effect current sensor does not get hot. Even when measuring 50 Amps!
