Pad Meter Sequence

 

Summary

 

The Pad Meter Sequence window is used to modify and pad meter sequence numbers.  For example, if a meter sequence is 0005, 0010, 0015 and 0020, you can use the Pad Meter Sequence window to change the sequence to 0010, 0020, 0030 and 0040.

 

The Pad Meter Sequence window is also used to move meters to a new route. For example, if a meter route has become large and a portion of the route should be split into a new route, use the Pad Meter Sequence window to move some of the meters to a new route. If all meters on a route with a sequence number greater than 0100 should be moved to a new route, enter the new route number in the New Route field and enter 0100 in the Start Sequence field. The meters will be moved to the new route when the Pad Meter Sequences process is complete.

 

If you would like to view the meters attached to a specific meter route, generate a Detailed Meter Information report for a specific meter route.

Step by Step

 

1     Open the Pad Meter Sequences window (UB> Utilities> Pad Meter Sequences).

 

2     Complete the Settings section.

 

  • The Routes field is used to select the routes that will be padded or split.
    • Use SELECT ALL and DESELECT ALL to select or deselect all the displayed routes.
    • Select only one route if a route should be split.
  • The Pad By field is used to define the amount of the pad sequence.
    • For example, if a meter sequence is 0005, 0010, 0015 and 0020, enter 10 in the Pad By field to change the sequence to 0010, 0020, 0030 and 0040.
  • The Start sequence field is used to define the beginning number of the route sequence.
    • If the Split route toggle is not checked, the Start sequence field defines what sequence number you would like to begin the padding. For example, if you enter 0100, all meters with a sequence number greater or equal to this number will be padded with the padding value entered in the Pad by field.
    • If the Split route toggle is checked, the Start sequence field defines the meters that will be moved to a new route. For example, if you enter 0950 in this field, all meters with a sequence equal to or greater than this sequence number will be moved from the route selected in the Routes field to the route number entered in the New Route field.
  • Check the Split route toggle if you would like to split the route selected in the Routes field.
    • The Split route toggle will be enabled if only one meter route is selected in the Routes field.
  • Enter a route number in the New Route field if you are splitting a route. The route number entered in this field is the route number of the route that will be created when the route is split.
    • You cannot enter the route number of a route that has already been created.
  • Click the Submit button to pad the meter sequences or split the route.
    • You can view the progress of a scheduled job from the Jobs Viewer window.
