GLENN:  The PVA600 uses a Windows based application.

I have a MacBookPro that runs Windows 7 natively using the "Bootcamp" software that is bundled in with the Mac OS.

So unless your tablet can run Windows in either native of emulation mode, you're ( currently ) out of luck.

As with most manufacturers, customer demand probably drives Solmetric and the OS platforms on which the PVA600 software will run. Make your wishes for an Android version known to them.

So the PVA-600 doesn’t require a Windows specific program to access the logging device?

This has been a question for me as most tablets now run Android OS and not a Microsoft product.

Is it just browser based perhaps?

Thanks!

I am using it right now. I really like it. It's great for storing records of array/module parameters. Helps with pinpointing trouble modules or strings. I have also used it to show customers what snow/dirt can do to a string. The same can be done with a meter of course. Only works up to 20A so limited off-grid use.

I started out using a laptop with it but have since switched to a tablet computer, it fits right in the front pocket and makes a nice little package.

    Bill- what is your take on its IV Curve measurement data?

    Perhaps its been a while, but I recall your tested was in the $20k
    cost zone?

    This seems like a reasonable tool to have and all of the benefits
    of commissioning plus being able to quickly identify challenges.

    It also seems to provide a glimpse into the future of mod manu's
    products and their efficacy over time.

    Aloha,
