Reading window
The data displayed in the Reading window includes the following:
• Serial # - This is the LAN ID of the meter’s endpoint. It will be displayed when
the endpoint is read and again, if necessary, when a Tamper indication is
cleared.
• Reading - This shows the current usage, as computed by the meter’s
endpoint (including, in some cases, a correction factor).
• Status - Shows the current tamper condition of the endpoint:
12:19:49 PM Current Time – This shows current time from the EA_Mobile internal
real-time clock.
Mode: Reading Mode – This displays the currently selected Reading mode.
In this example the mode is L/L or Latitude/Longitude. Allowed
modes are:
• L/L or Latitude/Longitude
• FIFO (first-in-first-out)

• To the side of the vehicle the distance is half or 850 feet.
Note: The interrogation window is approximately an oval.
Good Reads: Number of Good Readings - Indicates total number of good reads,
regardless of tamper condition. In this example, 8 endpoints have
been successfully interrogated.

communicating and delivering valid position data to the EA_Mobile.
In this example, GPS is active and is currently receiving data from 11
satellites.

number of endpoints considered to be in the interrogation window
according to the parameters of the selected Reading mode.

endpoints considered to be in the interrogation window, otherwise
