Use this element for: Keeping track of how many times the meter rollover point has been reached (Rollover point value gets added to the value in this DE, each time there is a rollover), and if the meter gets replaced by a new meter, how many units were already consumed by the previous meter (so that the readings from the new meter are always added to value in this DE to figure out how many units have been consumed by the meter on a whole).
