1. Start the Utility Meter GUI. For details, see Section 3.1: “Starting the Utility Meter GUI”.
2. In the Utility Meter GUI, click the Diagnose tab.
3. In the Utility Meter GUI's Tasks (right) pane, click the Meter Connection Status button.
4. If the Utility Meter's data acquisition server (process) is running, the following message appears and it
displays the date and time that the Utility Meter began collecting usage data.
