30MiniCom 3System date and time:For some types of meter (PolluTherm, PolluStat E, PolluCom E) it is onlypossible to set values for the date and time which are higher than the currentvalues. Be cautious: before setting the values, check them thoroughly. Thehigher values cannot be changed.Clicking on "Use PC date and time" sends the system time from the user's PC to the meter.If the system date and time have been set successfully and the meter has already been read, in theResults window the date and time will be changed. To thoroughly check implementation of the change,we recommend running a meter readout.3.6 Set Averaging Duration(Registered version only)Use this command to set the averaging period for the calculation of the tariff setting and for themaximum values of the meter.This dialog will appear, if you haven't read the meter before starting this command. If you click on"Start Readout", after reading the meter a dialog with the current parameter value appears. If youchoose "Ignore", a dialog with a default value appears, which doesn't correspond to the real parametervalue.Clicking on "OK" sends the data to the meter (even if you don't make any changes). "Cancel" stopscommunication with the meter.If the command doesn't run successfully, still try to read the meter using "Start Readout". Solutions toproblems during communication with meters can be found under the topic "Solving Problems".The meter calculates the maximum values of power, volume flow, flow and return temperature basedon the set averaging duration.The set averaging period also provides a basis for the tariff setting calculation.© 2006 Sensus Metering System
