Meter Reading Statistics

The Meter Reading Statistics screen records communications attempts between Netstream and a remote Meter. This can be useful for understanding intermittent communications problems or for detecting if communications have recently gone offline.

This screen is accessed from cog > View statistics menu of the Meters screen.

Use the toggle button to select the reporting period - either the last 28 days or all days.

The screen is in two parts. On the left are summary statistics for meter reading attempts and average reading times. On the right are the reading time details. Each time Netstream tries to communicate with a meter the result is recorded and reported here.

The Reading Attempts panel shows the summary statistics for the reporting period.

Colour	Meaning
Read (green)	Meter read successfully
Comms error (pink)	Meter not read due to a transport layer error
Device error (red)	Meter not read due to an application layer protocol error

Below Reading Attempts the Average Reading Time panel shows the average duration - in hours, minutes and seconds - the meter was connected for.

Label	Description
Read	Average duration of successful meter reading
Device Error	Average duration of unsuccessful meter reading

The Reading Time Details panel shows the association time for each meter reading attempt. Association time refers to the period when the application layer protocols are established which occurs after transport layer communications is established.

Column Name	Description
Time Stamp	The date and time the connection was established
Reading Duration	The association time (hh:mm:ss). Zero if there was a transport layer error or application association error.
Status	The association status using a green, red or pink indicator (see table above)
