Input format: line meter pulse count (65020)
This parameter is a code that specifies the format in which pulse counts for the
line meter are delivered to the AFC at the ends of runs or passes. These values
are:
Value Format Description
0
None
No pulse counts are delivered. Used only when no prover is configured
1
32-bit
Pulse counts are delivered as 32-bit (double) integers
2
Split-double
Pulse counts are delivered as split-double values, in which the actual
value is (MSW * 10,000 + LSW)
3
Floating point Pulse counts are delivered as IEEE 32-bit floating point values
When a prover is configured, the default setting is 1 (32-bit), except for compact
provers, for which it is 3 (floating point).
Input format: master meter pulse count (65021)
This parameter is a code that specifies the format in which pulse counts for the
master meter are delivered to the AFC at the ends of runs or passes. These
values are:
Value Format Description
0
None
No pulse counts are delivered. Used when the prover is not a
master meter.
1
32-bit
Pulse counts are delivered as 32-bit (double) integers.
2
Split-double
Pulse counts are delivered as split-double values, in which the
actual value is (MSW * 10,000 + LSW).
3
Floating point
Pulse counts are delivered as IEEE 32-bit floating point values.
When a master meter is configured, the default setting is 1 (32-bit). This
parameter is meaningful only when using master meter provers.
8.1.5 Prover
Characteristics
Prover Characteristics will vary based on the type of prover and options you
select. The following topics describe each field and its operating range.
Prover size units (65018.L)
This parameter sets the units in which the prover's base volume is represented.
This parameter is not meaningful for master meter provers.
Meter factor precision (65028+)
This parameter is a number between 0.00000001 and 0.0001. The default setting
is 0.0001
