Thanks, that's good to know. It sounds like NUT might not be the framework for me, unless I can't find any other decent way of getting high-sample-rate data from some power monitor.
On the bright side, this is a one-off project, so it's probably okay for me to write code that can only grab data from one particular power monitor product.
