View Rightsizing Data

Advanced Feature: The feature discussed in this section requires an advanced subscription. For more information, see Basic and advanced features.

Use View Rightsizing Data to capture and display the data recorded by a 100W+ series ERT module in which rightsizing mode was enabled earlier through the Enable Rightsizing command. This command saves the data to the FDM mobile application’s device command log, which the FDM server retrieves during synchronization. Analysis of this information indicates whether the module’s meter is the correct size for the level of consumption it is supposed to measure.

Note:  If the device command log is not enabled on your handheld or laptop, the system displays an error message. If this happens, see your manager for assistance. In addition, the module’s right-sizing mode must have been enabled earlier through the Enable Rightsizing command and that right-sizing operation must be complete before you use the View Rightsizing Data command. The View Rightsizing option appears on the 100W+ endpoint action menu only for FSRs whose user accounts include permission to perform rightsizing.

The following diagram summarizes the procedure.

An FC300 handheld or a laptop with a 900MHz Belt-Clip Radio or Itron Mobile Radio is required to perform this function.

If the meter is fully secured you must retrieve the necessary secure commands before you can execute this function (see Retrieving Secure Commands from the FDM Server).

If enhanced security is enabled on the module, your FDM security manager may have sent a key exchange command for the module along with the secure commands you retrieved from the server. If so, the mobile application executes the key exchange command before executing any of the secure commands. If you receive an error message indicating a security key mismatch, synchronize your mobile device with the server and then perform a Get Commands command. If you still receive the message after performing these steps, contact an Itron customer support representative.

FDM lets you view the rightsizing data in both graph and table form.

The View Rightsizing Data screen includes two menu bar buttons that let you adjust the unit of measure and multiplier FDM uses to calculate the displayed values. These two selections work together to define the units that appear on the screen. For example, if the unit of measure is set to Gallons and the multiplier is set to 100, a value of 521 on the screen represents 521 x 100 = 52,100 gallons.
