About Meter Groups
The purpose of a meter group is to link multiple meters to a single parent meter channel
so that data from the meters can be summarized or averaged.
5.1.1 How configuration is sourced from the parent to the group members
In order for meter-group parent calculations to accurately reflect the summations or
averages of the meter-group members, certain configuration parameters must be
consistent for all members, while other member configuration parameters may be
configured independently for each member. We use the following terms to refer to these
two categories of parameters:
“Group Member Synchronization” refers to configuration parameters that are
sourced from the meter-group parent
’s configuration parameters.
“Group Parent Not Applicable” refers to configuration parameters that may be
configured independently for each member within a group.
In EAFC Manager, configuration parameters that are sourced from a meter-group parent
to each meter-group member are disabled when the user is viewing a member.
For example, the following screen capture shows what the
Component Analysis
dialog
box would look like for a meter-group parent:
