Virtual Meter

The virtual meter is useful if you want to view meter data

before adding it to a form. It allows you to preview

uploaded data, to export and copy data, and to copy a

single reading to a form.

To open the virtual meter, click the Meter button on the

right-hand side of the toolbar.

Views

The virtual meter has three views for displaying data. The

display method(s) that are available depend on the meter

you are using.

Memory

This view shows the logged and display readings that

were last uploaded from meter memory. It shows meter

data in tabular form for you to view before placing it in the

active form. It also allows you to export uploaded meter

data to a .csv file, to manually copy the meter data to the

form, and to clear the meter’s memory.

Primary/Secondary Readings

Provides a compact, virtual representation of readings as

they occur on your meter’s display. If your meter displays

both primary and secondary readings, the virtual meter

shows both readings. You can perform a single-reading

copy to form in this view.

Meter Display

Provides a large-view, virtual representation of readings

as they occur on your meter’s display. You can perform a

single-reading copy to form in this view.

Functions
