Install a single meter ERT

This sample shows a single meter ERT installation. This scenario occurs when an endpoint device is installed on an existing meter at an existing service point.

The sample XML does the following:

• Links ERT Device1 to existing meter Meter1 at existing service point SP1 on 3/10/2015 at 5:00 PM (local time for SP1). From 3/10/2015 5:00 PM on, any data reported by Device1 will be associated with Meter1 and, consequently, SP1.

Note: To avoid a gap in the hourly interval data, always start and end link ranges at the top of the hour. For example, if the ERT changed at 3:15 PM and the value was 2016-06-10T15:15:00 (3:15 PM), meter data between 3:00 and 4:00 PM may be incomplete.

• To display a value in user interface endpoint install date fields, sets Device1's installation date as 03/10/2015 at 5:00 PM (local time for SP1) using the EndpointInstallationDate="2015-03-10T17:00:00" attribute.
• Configures Device1 to report interval data in cubic feet on channel 1.
