I'm confused. What is Isaac? Is that the software that analyzes the powemeter data? Do I have to buy it ($440) in addition to the powermeter ($500)??

Isaac is the analysis software for the iBike. It is free and works on PC or MAC

Yes Isaac is the software that analyzes and displays your ride information. Unlike Garmin or Strava where data is uploaded and stored through their websites, Isaac software is downloaded directly onto your PC. There is no extra cost for Isaac software it comes with your purchase of Ibike. I hope this was helpful.

It only measures current (not voltage, not power factor) and calculates kW and kW-Hr from that so it's not the most accurate tool for the job. The reports and stuff are good enough to do that, if you can live with perhaps 10% accuracy.

The cheap scanners you speak of are only code readers. They dont have live data as this "diagnostic tool" does. Its by far the best "diagnostic tool" for the money and its not the tools fault people are to slow in their nodule to understand its functions. Please have someone read its manual to you.

OK, if I want to measure how many watts my refer uses in 24 hours,how do I do it on the 4460?Tx for any comments.

We've had this one for a while and use it to figure our usage out. We have a similar setup and it works fine for that. The software interface is somewhat wonky, but it has been a great buy for the price. Hope this helps!

There must be a quick start guide that comes with the unit, as I remember reading about the changes to the device. It is also available on the HP web site along with some articles on more sophisticated uses such as programming the device. Search using the term "guide" rather than "manual". That fooled me for awhile.

Pro offers "Power Spectrum" and the ability to use and store multiple users. If you go on the Heartmath website, there is a pull down menu for product comparisons that will explain more.

I know almost nothing about the software included but I wrote relatively full featured python script that will get the meter values and work in any operating system (both because I wanted programming access to the meter and because the included software wouldn't work in the OS I use). Search for "tp4000zc python xuth" and you'll find the software either on github or my personal site.

From my research, the 4660 calculates your power consumption in dollars and cents, hourly, Daily, monthly and yearly. It also has a batery backup so that if the outlet loses power it remembers the data and continues reading when it is powered back on.The 4400 displays usage in Killowatt hours, so with the info, your electrical bill and a calculator you can figure out the cost, assuming you can do math. Now there are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those who can do math and those who can't. Since I am in the latter category, I just purchased the 4460. Worth the extra $15 IMHO.

the question, as posed, is not answerable. compared to what? the 450 power station is fine, but whats the other product?

Some of the software included are CyberLink PowerDirector and CyberLink PhotoDirector. Is there any particular software that you like to know?

Apparently you only get the power meter on iOS. When I connect it with my Android phone there is no way to view the battery status (including 3rd party apps/widgets as far as I could tell). When I connect it with my iPad however, I do see a battery meter.

U can also check out mjlorton on YouTube...he reviews the meter...great for the price.

It said it didn't need power but it has a plug-in port for power. Of course it didn't come with a power supply and more importantly - it didn't work at all! I have a Mac with 2 traditional monitors and one tablet monitor. I need to switch which 2 are in operation depending on what I'm doing. I got a Kinivo 301BN after the Apogee failure. It has more ports than and need and cost more than the Apogee but I'd rather pay $30 for something that works than $12 for a piece of garbage. FYI - the Kinivo needs power.

Thanks Phoenix1. I just recently purchased one, so when I get it set up I can do a real review, instead of asking questions in the wrong place. Thanks for the tip, I'll be using it!

why would you want yo do that? this machine ain't worth the shipping involved,,for a few bucks more,, get a Powermatic 2,,you will be glad you did!

I'm not sure exactly how the power meter in this machine works, but as somebody who works with power often, it seems fairly accurate to me. Probably not quite as accurate as, say, a power tap, but I get numbers accurate enough to work with over the winter months. My guess is it estimates power based on gear (resistance). and rpm, but im not entirely sure.
