1. A system comprising:
- a line device, coupled to the power line, that monitors at least one power parameter of the power line;
a microprocessor based device that receives a first indication of the at least one power parameter from the line device and a second indication of the at least one power parameter of the power line from legacy instrumentation coupled to the power line;
wherein the microprocessor based device compares the first indication of the at least one power parameter from the line device and the second indication of the at least one power parameter from the legacy instrumentation at substantially the same time period as the second indication of the at least one power parameter, yielding comparison data, wherein the comparison data shows accuracy of measurement of the at least one power parameter by the legacy instrumentation.

Abstract
A line device monitors at least one power parameter of an electric power line and produces at least one representation thereof. The at least one representation is communicated to a microprocessor based device. The representation is compared with a measurement of the at least one power parameter produced by legacy instrumentation.
