Understanding Device Configuration Types
Device Configuration types define the measurements a given device can record. It should be noted that the device configuration type itself does not specify this information but rather the device configuration type will identify the valid list of measuring component types that can be referenced associated to a device.
When creating a new device configuration type there are the following options:
|

Business Object |
|
Device Configuration Type |
This represents configurations for physical meters and communication components. It identifies a list of valid measuring components types. |
D1-DeviceConfigurationType |
|
Item Configuration Type |
This represents badged items that are installed at a particular service point. Given the nature of items there are no measuring component types associated to this type. |

Refer to Configuring Consumption Synchronization for more information on how a device configuration type can be set up to synchronize consumption between two related channels of measurement data.
