Interval Meter Configuration Maintenance

The following discussion describes how the Meter Configuration page behaves for interval meters.

Description of Page

This section only highlights the fields that are different from regular (non interval) meter configurations.

Use the Complete Data Sets button if you have Pending datasets for the interval registers linked to the meter configuration and you would like the system to Complete them. When this button is clicked, all validation algorithms defined on the registers' Interval Register Types will be executed. If no errors are detected from the interval register types' validation algorithms OR if none of the interval register types contains validation algorithms, the pending data sets will be marked as complete. Refer to Validation of Register Data for more information about the validation algorithms.

The Registers accordion contains information about the meter configuration's registers. The following fields are unique to interval registers or have special behavior for interval registers:

• Turn on Interval if this register can have interval datasets associated with it.
• Use Interval Register Type to define the interval register type that controls business rules associated with an interval register's datasets. This field is disabled if Interval is turned off.
• Use Time of Use (TOU)to define the time-of-use code if any, that specifies a particular time of day during which the register measures consumption. This field is disabled if Interval is turned on.
• Channel ID is used to specify an external id for the register. It can be used, for example, to store the MV-90 channel ID suffix related to a specific register for interval meters.
