Specifying initial meter readings

After you generate a list of meters, you can assign an initial reading to a meter. Specifying the initial meter readings provides more data when the assembly becomes ready for production. You can perform this procedure only if the status of the new aircraft or equipment assembly is Draft.

1. In the New Aircraft or Equipment applications, select the new aircraft or equipment assembly that you want to update.
2. In the New Aircraft or Equipment tab, in the Meters tab, select the meter that you want to update.
3. Specify a date for the initial reading.
4. Specify a value for the initial count.
5. Specify the average calculations information. You can only use continuous or delta meters.

   Option	Description
   To use all readings to calculate the average:	Specify All.
   To use a specific number of days to calculate the average:	Specify Sliding Days. In the Sliding Window Size field, specify the number of days.
   To use a specific number of readings to calculate the average:	Specify Sliding Readings. In the Sliding Window Size field, specify the number of readings.
   To set the average reading and never recalculate it:	Specify Static. In the Average Units/Day field, specify the value to use to calculate the average.

6. Save the aircraft or equipment assembly.
