Default = 1024. Data block size from 128, 256, 512, to 1024. Custom block size can be entered if desired.

Protocol

Newer devices use the DB2 or DB2 Compressed packet communication protocol. Older devices use a non-packetized communication protocol called DB1. The selected option will be used to communicate to the device. DB2 Compressed is the recommended setting if the device supports this feature and if history collection is performed. The compressed mode reduces the bandwidth required to retrieve history records from the field device.

PGAS Output Options

Default: No special mapping for PGAS output. Option1: Map Volume to Index Off and '0' to Index On.

Device Setup Extra Data

Default = Not Selected. Use the extra device setup information for EFM publishing that is available in some firmware versions.

Log Period Extra Data

Default = Not Selected. Use the extra periodic history information for EFM publishing that is available in some firmware versions.

Daily Extra Data

Default = Not Selected. Use the extra daily history information for EFM publishing that is available in some firmware versions.

Include Fixed Analysis in Log Period Records

Default = Not Selected. Include fixed analysis data in log period records when not using an analysis trend file.

Include Spec. Heat Ratio and Viscosity in Log Period Records

Default = Not Selected. Include specific heat ratio and viscosity in log period records (and meter factor for linear meters).

Measurement Canada

Default = Selected. When selected, this will use features in event and analysis data to meet the requirements of Measurement Canada.

Verify History Records

Default = Not Selected. When selected, this option will verify that the number of history records received is equal to the number of records requested. If the received number does not match the requested number, the records will be discarded and another retrieval will be attempted during a poll cycle retry, or during the next collection attempt (whether scheduled or requested). This option only applies to the 'Sequence Number' history collection method.

Low Bandwidth Mode

Low Bandwidth mode collects history using more messages with smaller content. This is available only with DB2 devices, and only when using the sequence number request method.

• Never use Low Bandwidth mode.
• Always use Low Bandwidth mode.
• Use Low Bandwidth mode on poll cycle retries (Default).

Low Bandwidth Batch Size

Default = 2. The number of records (of each history type) in each batch request while in low bandwidth mode.

Limit Records per Collection

Default = Not Selected. Specify the maximum number of history records that should be collected each retrieval cycle. Default = 0. During normal operation, this represents the maximum number of records requested for each enabled history type. In Low Bandwidth mode, this acts as the overall maximum number of records, and is checked at the end of each received batch.

Debounce input 1

Default = Unassigned. The meter number (1-20) using the specified debounce input.

Register Default = 7.2.15. The register containing the debounce configuration for the desired meter. Leave this property empty if no debounce register is used, or if reading the register is not required.

Debounce input 2

Default = Unassigned. The meter number (1-20) using the specified debounce input.

Register Default = 7.2.16. The register containing the debounce configuration for the desired meter. Leave this property empty if no debounce register is used, or if reading the register is not required.

Debounce Output Field

Default = Unknown. Click Image Modified to select the identifier used by publishers to correctly place the debounce value in the output file.

Meter 1-20. Select the meter run to configure.

Remote Meter

Index

Default = Meter run number (1-20). This property controls which meter in the device is retrieved for the selected ACM meter run. The default behavior is to retrieve device meter 1 for ACM meter 1, device meter 2 for ACM meter 2, etc. Use the default value for field devices with 20 or fewer meter runs.

To configure meter runs for field devices with greater than 20 meters, create an ACM device for every group of 20 meters in a single field device and set the Remote Meter Index to the appropriate meter in the field device. For example, 'Device1' meter runs 1-20 in ACM can retrieve meter runs 1-20 from the field device. Using the Remote Meter Index, 'Device2' meter runs 1-20 in ACM can be configured to retrieve meters 21-40 from the field device.

Collect Meter Analysis Data and Merge with Log Period.

Default = Not selected.  If selected, ACM will retrieve the specified trend and attempt to merge the data in the trend records with data in the log period records so volume and analysis data are combined into a single record. If the Totalflow device supports Enhanced meters, ACM can use the gas analysis data in each log period record if it is present. ACM will use the Enhanced meter gas analysis data only if this option (Collect Meter Analysis Data and Merge with Log Period

Trends 1-24. Select to collect by trend number.

Trend Interval

Select the desired Trend Interval relating to the Schedule object assigned on the Connection tab. Trend collection will occur at the frequency defined for the this interval.
