FULL NETWORK CAPABILITY: the Intelligent Metering SystemTM supports a variety of network conventions and offers full compatibility.

Open Architecture Means We Can Fit Into Your System

The Intelligent Metering SystemTM can be readily integrated into your plant and/or wide/area network,
control and information systems using our communication features:

arow.jpg (624 bytes)Ethernet - adapter built-in.
arow.jpg (624 bytes)Modbus via serial port, also built-in.

The Intelligent Metering SystemTM software supports industry-standard protocols for exchange of data between applications under Windows 95TM including:

arow.jpg (624 bytes)Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE.)
arow.jpg (624 bytes)Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) / Structured Query Language (SQL.)

This means that our Intelligent Metering SystemTM software can exchange data with spreadsheets (such as LotusTM and ExcelTM) and databases (such as AccessTM, FoxProTM, Dbase 4TM, SQL ServerTM, and OracleTM), tools with which you may already be familiar and are using.
