21.3.5 Setting up automatic or remote execution of the meter verification test
Note: Requires Smart Meter Verification. Scheduling is not available with the original version of the
meter verification application.
There are three ways to execute a Smart Meter Verification test automatically:
• Define it as an event action
• Set up a one-time automatic execution
• Set up a recurring execution
In addition, if your transmitter has a discrete input, you can configure the discrete input to initiate a
Smart Meter Verification test remotely.
In all cases, the test will be performed with outputs set to
Continue Measuring.
You can use these methods in any combination. For example, you can specify that a Smart Meter
Verification test will be executed three hours from now, every 24 hours starting now, every time a
specific discrete event occurs, and every time the discrete input is activated.
• To define meter verification as an event action, see Figure 10.4.
• To define meter verification as a discrete input action, see Section 7.3.5.
• To set up a one-time automatic execution, set up a recurring execution, view the number of
hours until the next scheduled test, or delete a schedule:
- With ProLink II, click
Tools > Meter Verification > Schedule Meter Verification.
- With the display, see Figure 21-9.
- With the Communicator, see Figure 21-10
Note the following:
• If you are setting up a one-time automatic execution, specify the start time as a number of
hours from the present time. For example, if the present time is 2:00 and you specify 3.5 hours,
the test will be initiated at 5:30.
• If you are setting up a recurring execution, specify the number of hours to elapse between
executions. The first test will be initiated when the specified number of hours has elapsed, and
testing will be repeated at the same interval until the schedule is deleted. For example, if the
present time is 2:00 and you specify 2 hours, the first test will be initiated at 4:00, the next at
6:00, and so on.
• To turn off automatic execution from the display, set the appropriate value (
Next Run or
Recurring Time) to 0 hours.
