The meter is now a line item on the Meter window grid. You can add more than one meter if needed.

Following are short definitions of the fields on the popup window.

Meter Code – the identification code for the meter.

Description – text to help identify the use or purpose of the meter.

Initial Reading – the current reading on the meter.

Original Rollovers – applicable if the meter has been in use prior to this installation. It indicates how many times the readings have passed a designated number after which the meter was reset. See Digits for more explanation of a rollover.

Digits – the number of integers allowed for a meter reading before a meter rolls over or resets. Example: Assume the Digits field setting is 3. When the meter reading passes 999, the meter rolls over and meter reading values start at 0 once more.

Taken By – the ID code of the person who recorded the information.

Tech Name – a read-only field that displays the name of the person who recorded the information based on the ID code in the Taken By field.
