- Available in firmware v. 4.7 and later.
eGauge meters ship with a default database format that allows for a maximum of 64 registers. The Database Setup tool introduced in firmware v. 4.7 allows the database format to be configurable from a selection of alternate database formats.
The Database configuration tool does not require the meter to be online and will work through direct connection or through the online proxy connection.
