As shown in figure 4, several pieces of information are displayed for a good transponder
reply during the reading mode (if the option to do so has been enabled). The first item
displayed is the serial number. Next, the meter reading is displayed. The next item is the
tamper status. A '.' is displayed for a non-tampered transponder. A 'T' is displayed for a
tampered transponder, ‘R’ for a tamper reset, and a 'F' is displayed if the tamper reset
command failed. The last field displayed is the street address of the meter.
Figure 4. Typical Reading Mode Display
A status line, shown above, is displayed at the top of the screen during the reading mode.
The time, mode of reading, number of good reads, GPS status, and number of
transponders inside the interrogation window are displayed. The GPS status area may be
at one of three statuses; ‘A’ indicates the GPS receiver is communicating with the MMI
and is producing valid position data, ‘S’ indicates that the GPS receiver is
communicating, but is not producing valid position data, and the self-navigation option is
active and functioning. The status ‘N’ indicates the GPS receiver is communicating, but
is not currently producing valid position data, and finally ‘-‘ indicates that the GPS
receiver is not communicating with the MMI properly.
