    23'''WARNING:''' Please do not use the Internet Explorer "IE" Browser to install this plugin.  There have been multiple reported problems with IE being used to upload plugins via Vera's Luup Plug installation pages.

    1617This will create the Brultech device, but it's Serial Port still needs to be assigned and another Save / Restart cycle performed.

    18 TODO: Document !HowTo page for Serial port assignment. 
     19== Serial Port Assignment == 
     20If you're using a direct-attached [http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Serial_Supported_Hardware USB-Serial device] to attach to your Brultech ECM-1240, then follow these steps to associate the Serial Port with this plugin 
     21 
     22TODO: Validate the steps for Serial ports outlined below (I use IP-enabled Brultech) 
     23 
     24 1. In ''MiOS developers'' -> ''Serial Port configuration'', find your newly connected USB-Serial port, and set the Baud rate to 19200[[BR]][[Image(BrultechSerialPortSetup1.png, 30%)]] 
     25 1. Select your newly created Brultech Device in the ''Used by device'' dropdown[[BR]][[Image(BrultechSerialPortSetup2.png, 30%)]] 
     26 1. The screen will change to this[[BR]][[Image(BrultechSerialPortSetup3.png, 30%)]] 
     27 1. Close this Dialog and perform a MiOS ''(Save)'' action. 
     28 
     29== Configure the Plugin == 
     30By default, the Plugin will configure itself for 1 (one) of the 7 CT's that's attached.  This can be changed by adjusting the `ActiveMeters` parameter in the Advanced Tab of the Device's dialog. 
     31 
     32 1. Open the Dialog for the Brultech Device (using the wrench/spanner) and select the Advanced Tab[[BR]][[Image(BrultechDeviceAdvanced1.png, 30%)]] 
     33 1. Change the value of the `ActiveMeters` parameter to be a comma-separated list of the inputs you have (1...7)[[BR]][[Image(BrultechDeviceAdvanced2.png, 30%)]] 
     34 1. Close this Dialog and perform a MiOS ''(Save)'' action. 
    1935 
    2036= Errors = 
    2137 * The Plugin doesn't yet support Ascii or Binary format data directly from the device, it only works for the Plug & Play models right now. 
    22  * The Plugin doesn't support changing the Labels of the 7-Channels yet, each will be generated as "`Meter - n`" 
    2338 * Each MiOS Device only supports ''one'' ECM-1240, work needs to be done to have it handle "''n''" of these Devices with a single MiOS Device. 
    24  * The "`ActiveMeters`" Parameter, on the Parent Device, is not documented (it takes a comma-list of Channel #'s to filter the UI) 
     39 * The mechanism for including/excluding Meters from the Parent-device's Total Watts isn't documented.
