The meters in Meter Performance Monitoring need to be configured before proves can be entered. There are a number of options which the user can select to match how the entered proves are to be validated.

The meter configuration form opens with the default values selected under each tab.

General

The General tab shows details about duration between proves and decimal places.

The user can now setup the meter configuration to match the proving process being used to select which proves are downloaded.

• Maximum Days Between Proves – This will trigger an event to be logged in the Electronic Logbook if the last prove entered exceeds the value set by the user. Setting the value to 0 means this event is not logged.

The Validation Options section allows you to select:

• Performance curve – The prove being entered will be validated against a performance curve.
• Control chart – The prove being entered will be validated against a control chart.
• Previous prove
  • Previous valid prove – The prove being entered will be validated against the last valid prove that has been downloaded
  • Previous prove – The prove being entered is validated against the last prove entered whether it is valid/invalid, downloaded or not.
