Sample Usage
The simplest way to get data from a Current Monitoring Meter into a script is via the XML page. Simply
performing an HTTP GET (as a web browser does) on http://<IP address of meter>/data.xml will
download the XML file. The following examples assume that the meter's IP address is 192.168.123.123.
Perl Example:
using LWP::UserAgent;
my $ip = "192.168.123.123";
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->timeout(5);
my $xmlFile = $browser->get("http://" . $ip . "/data.xml" )->content;
At this point, $xmlFile will contain the text of data.xml, ready to be parsed however necessary.
Unix/Linux Command Line Example:
wget http://192.168.123.123/data.xml
This command will download data.xml into the current directory. At this point, the file is ready to be used
by any local application or script.
