Continuous waveform streaming

A method for operating an electricity metering system comprising an electronic energy meter and a metering application host, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the electronic energy meter, an analog signal associated with power delivered using alternating current (AC);
• converting, by the electronic energy meter, the analog signal to a digital signal;
• generating, by the electronic energy meter, processed data and a continuous stream of waveform data;
• receiving, by a continuous waveform data stream module of the metering application host, the continuous stream of waveform data;
• requesting, by a first metering application hosted by the metering application host, at least a first portion of the continuous stream of waveform data;
• transferring, by the continuous waveform data stream module, the at least a first portion of the continuous stream of waveform data to the first metering application;
• requesting, by a second metering application hosted by the metering application host, at least a second portion of the continuous stream of waveform data, wherein the first portion of the continuous stream of waveform data is different from the second portion of the continuous stream of waveform data;
• and
• transferring, by the continuous waveform data stream module, the at least a second portion of the continuous stream of waveform data to the second metering application.
