10.1 Creating Distributor Structures, General
A complete distributor structure with customer, building and distrib-
utor data can be created in the METRISO XTRA test instrument.
This structure makes it possible to assign measurements to dis-
tributors in various buildings and customer facilities.
There are two possible procedures:
• On location or at the
construction site:
Create the distributor
structure in the test
instrument. A distrib-
utor structure with
up to 50,000 struc-
tural elements can
be created in the test
instrument, which is
saved to the instru-
ment’s flash mem-
ory.
or
• Create and save a distributor structure at a PC with the help of
ETC report generating software (Electric Testing Center) (see con-
densed operating instructions for ETC report generating soft-
ware). The distributor structure is then transferred to the test
instrument.
Note regarding ETC Report Generating Software
The following steps must be completed before using the soft-
ware:
• Install USB device drivers:
(required for operation of the METRISO XTRA at a PC):
GMC-I Driver Control software can be downloaded from
Gossen Metrawatt's website at:

10.2 Transferring Distributor Structures
The following data transfer operations are possible:
• Transfer a distributor structure from the PC to the test instru-
ment.
• Transfer a distributor structure including measured values
from the test instrument to the PC.
The test instrument and
the PC must be con-
nected with a USB cable
in order to transfer dis-
tributor structures and
data.

during transfer of struc-
tures and data.
