The watt meter is called "Watts Up?" See info here.

There are less expensive basic wattmeters available. They've become popular with consumers who are into energy conservation or simply knowing what their appliances consume. I've seen these in department stores and mail order catalogs, airline in-flight catalogs, etc. This is not the brand I have but here's a link for you: http://www.ahernstore.com/p4400.html
Mine is a unit call Watts Up? Pro. In addition to a basic wattmeter, it has cost per KW/Hr output, power factor, etc. It also has a PC interface with basic datalogging and charting capability. You can read more about it at the website link below.
Watts Up? Pro wattmeter / datalogger. This is what I used
