Consecutive Interval Check

Overview

This rule flags any combination of consecutive intervals within Initial Measurement Data based on the values of the data or the condition codes of the data. It can be used to find faulty meters that are reporting consecutive outage codes, zero measurements, or negative values. It can also be used by water utilities to identify leaks based on the interval never reaching zero.

Note:

Additional detail on the logic of this rule can be found in the Detailed Description of the D2-CONSINTRV Algorithm Type.

For help with the meaning of specific configuration fields, refer to the embedded help on the screen when adding or editing the rule.

Example Scenarios

Below are some example scenarios that can be achieved based on configuration of this rule.

Scenario 1: Rule configured to fail for zero values

Example Scenarios

Scenario 2: Rule configured to fail for negative values

Example Scenarios

Scenario 3: Rule configured to fail for missing condition codes

Example Scenarios

Scenario 4: Rule configured to fail for outage condition codes only if its zero

Example Scenarios

Scenario 5: Rule configured to fail if a long period of consecutive water values are greater than 0.1

Example Scenarios

Scenario 6: Look back at prior measurements when the first interval matches criteria
