       while 1:
               response = ser.readline()
               z = response.split(",")
               if len(z)>=7:
                       print "Power 1: %s Watts" % z[0]
                       print "Power 2: %s Watts" % z[1]
                       print "Power 3: %s Watts" % z[2]
                       print "Power 4: %s Watts" % z[3]
