Reading quality level and estimation routines

The Reading Quality Level setting is located in Meter Data Management > Tools > Estimation > Estimation Sets and is used in several estimation routines. This setting determines the quality of the readings data used in estimation. The setting has two possible values:

• High: if selected, estimations will be performed using actual readings data only, i.e., readings that do not have a MISSING or ESTNEEDED status.

• Low: if selected, estimations will be performed using both actual and estimated readings data.

Note: Edited reads are considered actual reads.

The Reading Quality Level setting affects the following estimation routines:

• Average recent load projection

• Usage calculation

• Scaling using estimated registers

• Stale data detection
