Comments on new EKM Dash

Hi,
Congratulations on the new version of your software, EKM Dash.
The new version is much more user friendly than EKM reader v3.
I was able to communicate with my reader in no time.
However, I do have some questions/comments.
1. What is "demand period" ?
2. I wish there was a way to flush all historic data for a meter in the software. This would be useful when I change the physical setup (monitor another circuit) and then exporting data.
3. Is there a way the get daily readings of VAH instead of KWH ? I know I can divide KWH by power factor, but then I need to do readings as fast as possible and have my own VA accumulator (instead of using the KWH acculumator in the reader and reading it once every day) ?
4. I think I will miss the functionnality of the EKM reader of automatically logging to a file. Having to export data manually has some drawbacks.
Thanks !
