Using KST for graphing

Kst does a really great job of graphing long term data. Its also really easy to simultaneously graph many different values. Available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

OpenEnergyMonitor Java based software

A couple of java programs, one reads in data from the arduino and prints it to serial, useful for logging to a file and live graphing in kst. There is also a Voltage and Current waveform sampling program that makes it easy to see the shape of the mains AC waveform. Effectively gives you and oscilloscope.
