Collected Readings
The Collected Readings function shows information by gateway, along with the meter readings it reported during the time
period specified such as Previous Day, Previous Week, etc.
1. Specify a date range to cover using the Start and Period settings.
2. Click Get Data to obtain meter reading information for the time period chosen.
The left section of the screen shows a table of the gateways. As you point to each gateway in the table, meter readings
reported through it during the time specified are shown in the right section of the screen. The number of the selected
gateway and the reading line item are also displayed in the bottom tool bar – 4:1 in the screen shown above.
NOTE: Two text boxes are displayed in the bottom tool bar next to the Close button. The number of gateways is on the
left and the number of meter readings reported through them is on the right.
Display Fields
•
Date: Date and time of the meter reading.
• Direct: The box is checked for meter readings that come from the transmitter directly to the gateway. If the meter reading
came to the gateway from a Repeater instead of the transmitter, the box is unchecked.
• RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator.
• Transmitter Serial #: Unique serial number of the GALAXY transmitter.
• Tx Cnt: The number of transmissions that have occurred as of the date shown. The last two digits of the number indicate
the specific hourly interval within the transmission, typically from 00 to 05.
• Status: Transmitter settings decoded by READCENTER.
• T-Cnt: The number of tamper alerts that have occurred as of the date shown. (TR2 transmitters only)
• L-Cnt: The number of leak alerts that have occurred as of the date shown. (TR2 transmitters only)
• Tamper: The box is checked if a tamper condition existed at the time of the meter reading.
• Leak: The box is checked if a leak condition existed at the time of the meter reading.
• Encoder: The box is checked if an error with the encoder existed at the time of the meter reading.
• Forced: The box is checked if the meter reading was manually initiated. For a TR3 transmitter, this is done by a
command from a handheld computer connected to it via IR. For a TR2 transmitter, this is done by magnetic activation.
• Reverse: The box is checked if a reverse flow condition existed at the time of the meter reading. (TR3 transmitters only)
