Doesn't support multiple sensor readings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As you know the CC128 supports 9 "appliance" sensors as well as the main
"house" sensor.

In our office we have two meters (don't ask), and CurrentCost advised us to
set it up as follows: one transmitter for meter 1 going into the "house"
sensor, and one transmitter for meter 2 going into the "appliance 1" sensor.

So we want to analyse the combined output of both sensors, both in the
currentcostgui app and in Excel via the CSV export.

To help you out I've attached an XML dump. It's pretty easy to recognise
which sensor each reading belongs to!

After explaining this to another app author, here's a bit more explanation.

CC128 units can provide separate data for up to 10 sensors, so it would be 
great if
currentcostgui could display all of that data.

For most users this would mean providing charts, statistics etc. for each sensor
separately, ideally auto-detecting if the different sensors are plugged in. This
isn't hard if you look at the XML I attached.

For users (i.e. a good few companies) with multiple power supplies, each with 
its own
meter + transmitter, it would be useful if you could add several sensors' data 
together.

Since one can export to CSV, just getting the first feature implemented - 
making sure
the app actually grabs all the data the CC128 is giving it - would enable
organisations like us to process the data in Excel.
