Virtual Power Meter (VPM) Software
There are two ways to connect the WPS to a PC running the Virtual Power
Meter Software:
FOR USE WITH OLDER VPM1 SOFTWARE ONLY: To connect using the
serial port, first connect a 12V DC power supply to the WPS. Once the
STATUS LED turns on and begins blinking, use the serial cable provided
and connect the female end of the cable to the computer and the male
end to the WPS. The WPS must be powered up before connecting to
the PC.
FOR USE WITH ALL VERSIONS OF VPM SOFTWARE: To connect using
the USB port, connect the USB cable to the computer and to the WPS.
A separate power supply is not required when using the USB port.
Note: When using the optional serial to USB adapter, connect the
WPS serial port to the adapter’s serial port, and the adapter’s USB
connector to the PC.
Bird RF Meter Android App
An On-The-Go (OTG) cable must be connected to the Android device. A USB
cable is connected from the OTG Cable to the WPS.
