A revision to a Power Management Control System includes an improved waveform client/waveform server communication interface based on a first inter-process communication protocol, preferably DCOM. The first inter-process communication protocol preferably resides in the waveform application alongside an existing second inter-process communication protocol, i.e. DDE, for backwards compatibility. The improvement allows the application to operate across network segments in a more robust, reliable manner than through the first inter-process communication protocol, thus enabling the waveform server to operate effectively as an NT service and providing independent third party client software access to the waveform server waveform capture functions. The waveform application system comprises interfaces within the waveform server which are implemented by the waveform client, and sink interfaces within the waveform client which are designated for each device class and to which the waveform server fires data as changes occur in the waveform data of the preselected electronic device. A method for communicating between the waveform server and waveform client is also described.
