Adding meters to assets
Use the Assets application to associate multiple meters with an asset. If the selected asset is associated with a meter group, the meters in that group display in the Meters window on the Meters tab.
Procedure
- In the Assets application, display the asset to which you want to add a meter.
- On the Meters tab, click New Row. If a value appears in the Meter Group field and there are meters in that meter group, those meters display in the Meters window.
- In the Meter field, specify a meter.
- If you select a continuous type of meter, specify one of
the following options for the Average Calculation Method:
- All To use all the readings to calculate the average of the readings.
- Sliding Days To use a specific number of days to calculate the average of the readings. If you specify Sliding, type a value in the Sliding Window Size field for the number of days to use in the calculation.
- Sliding Readings To use a specific number of readings to calculate the average of the readings. If you specify Sliding, type a value in the Sliding Window Size field for the number of readings to use in the calculation.
- Static To set the average reading and never recalculate it. If you specify Static, type a value in the Average Units/Day field.
- For a continuous type of meter, in the Reading Type field, specify Delta (to report incremental use) or Actual (to report cumulative use).
- For a continuous type of meter, in the Accept Rolldown From field, specify Asset (for the readings of the parent asset to apply to the current asset), Location (for the readings of the location to apply to the current asset), or None.
- If the asset is a linear asset, such as a roadway or a
pipeline, specify values in the Linear Segment Details section
as needed. The Linear feature is available through a separately licensed product extension.
- Click Save Asset.
