Energy-use by time of day per appliance is accumulated in a database to facilitate inclusion in reports or graphical charts. The SPEED Analysis Station provides a user friendly interface to textual and graphical reports conveying energy-use. Flexibility to analyze the loads of interest over the exact time periods desired is a trademark of Enetics` SPEED Analysis Station. The Analysis Station operates on data processed by the SPEED™ LDS-1070 Master Station. Analysis Stations may be networked to a Master Station over a standard local area network, or phone line. Once data has been extracted from the Master Station it resides in a file format which may be distributed to remotely located Analysis Stations.

SPEED Master Station is a personal computer based system that provides management of Field Recorders and NIALMS (Non-Intrusive Appliance Load Monitoring System) processing to generate end-use interval data. Recorder data is retrieved by Master Station over a standard phone line (or through walk-up collection using Field Station).  The Master Station plots edge transition data on a  watt-versus-VAR graph. Transitions from individual appliances form clusters of points on the watt-VAR graph which indicate the presence of a unique load. Simultaneous and missing edge transitions are reconciled through advanced algorithms and end-use profiles are created for each load prior to load naming. By matching these load profiles a positive identification is made and the specific appliance is tagged by name.

The Field Station software resides on a laptop PC and provides capabilities for direct data collection, configuration of recorders, and diagnostic. The software package runs under Windows. Field Station is utilized during installation and verification of fielded recorders. It can also collect data from a recorder in the field if communications are not available or are out of service.
