Introduced in 1993, ABACUS Optical Probes provide the physical communication link between a computer data port and the infrared LEDs on electricity meters to obtain meter billing data, make programming changes, and perform onsite diagnostics. The probes have attained "a dedicated worldwide following" since that launch, TransData says.
