Water endpoints: decode type description (nVanta 200WP and ChoiceConnect 100W/WP)

Note: The value that the decode value represents is always justified to the 1’s unit for 200WP endpoints. This paragraph is currently relevant to nVanta Types: 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 43, 44, 45, 75, and 76.

From this point forward the decode type will always be set to represent a resister value that is referenced to a 1's unit perspective. In the past for example if we have a six dial meter that reads in 100’s of CF at the last digit, i.e. 2 painted on zeros, and the top 4 moving digits are encoded the decode type would be a 6 dial, multiply by 100 truncate 0 or a type 77 according to the table. If the reading was 123456 on the moving dials, or 12345600 with painted on digits to the 1's unit level. The value shown would be 123400. The issue is that a meter next to it could be a six dial meter that reads in 1’s of CF at the last digit, i.e. no painted on zeros, and the top 4 moving digits are encoded the decode type would be a 6 dial, multiply by 100 truncate 0 or again a type 77 according to the table. If the reading was 123456 on the moving dials, or 123456 with painted on digits to the 1's unit level. The value shown would be 123400. This presents the problem, in both cases the displayed value is the same but the base units differ by a factor of 100. To make sure that we do not run into this as a billing problem we will reference all values to the 1's place (or the last painted on digit). So for the first meter the Type would be a six dial, multiply by 10000 truncate 0 and for the second meter the Type would be a six dial, multiply by 100 truncate 0. This approach also takes into account ICE meters where they may be digits below 1's unit that would naturally be truncated.

100W endpoints use the same decode values in this table but are not specifically referenced to a 1’s unit in the data bubbled up to Fixed Network.
