One of the engineers in PJ Technologies was involved in development of the Enermax meter.  Following on this development, and requirements of analysing and reporting using the data produced by this, and similar meters, led to the development of the PMAX software.  With over 900 copies sold, PMAX is widely utilised for electrical metering.

Functions of the software include:

• Local and Remote downloading of meters via optical head, RS232/RS485, dial-up, and TCP/IP internet and VPN connections.

• Load Profiles, including tariff based profiles for single or multiple meters

• Statistical profile, tariff and data reports

• Tariff Rate-Based Profiles

• Time-of-use tariff reports, the tariff setup is user configurable.
