     5 1. Download the ZIP file from directly from [changeset:22/tags/0.1.3?old_path=/&format=zip Source control] 
    66 1. Expand the ZIP File to extract the 6x files, their names should be exactly as follows: 
    77   * `D_BrultechPowerMeter1.xml` 
    … …  
    2929== Configure the Plugin == 
    3030=== Adding More Meters === 
    31 By 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. 
     31By default, the Plugin will configure itself for all 7 CT's that's attached to a single ECM-1240.  This can be changed by adjusting the `ActiveMeters` parameter in the Advanced Tab of the Device's dialog. 
    3232 
    3333 1. Open the Dialog for the Brultech Device (using the wrench/spanner) and select the Advanced Tab[[BR]][[Image(BrultechDeviceAdvanced1.png, 30%)]] 
    3434 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%)]] 
    3535 1. Close this Dialog and perform a MiOS ''(Save)'' action. 
     36 
     37=== Adding More ECM-1240's === 
     38By default, the Plugin will configure itself for 1 (one) ECM-1240.  As the plugin "detects" ECM-1240's, it will add them to a list on a first-come, first-recorded, basis. 
     39 
     40Over time, these devices can be seen via the `ActiveDevices` parameter in the Advanced Tab of the Device's dialog. 
     41 
     42To include CT's from these additional ECM-1240's, the `ActiveMeters` parameter needs to list meters in the form: 
     43 
     44One ECM-1240... 
     45   !ActiveMeters=`1,2,3,4,5,6,7` 
     46 
     47Two ECM-1240's... 
     48   !ActiveMeters=`1,2,3,4,5,6,7,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7` 
     49 
     50Three ECM-1240's... 
     51   !ActiveMeters=`1,2,3,4,5,6,7,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7,3.1,3.2,3.3,3.4,3.5,3.6,3.7` 
     52 
     53and so-on 
    3654 
    3755=== Changing the Total Wattage computation === 
    … …  
    4361 
    4462= Errors = 
    45  * 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. 
    46  * 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. 
     63 * The Plugin doesn't yet support Binary format data directly from the device, it only works for the Plug & Play models right now. 
    4764 * The mechanism for including/excluding Meters from the Parent-device's Total Watts isn't documented. 
    4865 
    … …  
    5269 * 23-June-2011[[br]] 
    5370  Add UI support for Total wattage in the Parent, along with Adding, Subtracting or Ignoring each child from these Totals. 
     71 * 18-July-2011[[br]] 
     72  Add support for multiple ECM-1240's on a single EtherBee, or Mux'd Serial Port.
