Force Read
All All Toggles, based on the encoder type. For ORION water endpoints
with an RTR, Program is used to set the endpoint odometer value
following a tamper repair. With an ADE or HR-E LCD encoder or with
an E-Series meter, Force Read is used to view the real-time encoder
odometer value.
Read Endpoint All All Initiates IR communication between the software and the endpoint.
