Default Astroflight Wattmeter

Anyone,
Can you explain to me how to hook up my new Astroflight Wattmeter so I can measure power with different battery and prop configurations?
I've connected the battery -3c 1500 lipo, to the source cables on the meter and the speed controller(which is connected to the motor) to the load cables from the meter, but, how do I connect the setup to the receiver so the speed controller works with the transmitter?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have most of it right...you just need to plug the 3 wire lead (that looks like a servo lead, with the servo connector ) from the ESC into the throttle channel of the receiver.
