Acquiring and processing meter data.
The default configuration for each meter is applied immediately after scanning. Additional changes to
the configuration must be saved manually.
The list is additively expanded with each scan, and existing meters will not be deleted even if they are
not available anymore.
The meter configuration can be changed with the buttons in the bottom area of the page, or by right-
clicking a meter entry. Meters entries and meter value entries can – within the limitations of the used
interface – be automatically searched, created, deleted or edited.
Meter entries and meter value entries can be selected with a single mouse click. Multiple selections are
possible by holding the SHIFT or CTRL keys.
When activating or deactivating a meter, its meter values are automatically enabled or disabled according
to the hierarchy. If a meter is inactive, it is activated by enabling one of its meter values.
Scanning can take a long time, depending on the mode and number of connected
meters. The scan process cannot be interrupted.
