Meters TabMeters TabYou use the Meters tab to associate a meter group with a location, and to add and remove meters from a location. You can associate any number of meters with any location.
The system supports three types of meters:
Continuous Meters are cumulative and tend to measure consumption or accumulation. They include meters that track such things as miles, hours, engine starts, pieces produced, or fuel consumed.
Gauge Meters show a range of values such as fuel levels, temperature, pressure, noise level or, oil level. Gauge meters are recorded via condition monitoring points.
Characteristic Meters are observational in nature and have a list of possible values. They are used to track things such as noise level, vibration level, clarity, or color. Characteristic meters are recorded via condition monitoring points.
