Zero-fill inactive estimation
Zero-fill Inactive fills the estimated reading value with 0 (zero) when the meter state is Inactive. This routine does not run on meters with the Active meter state.
The following table illustrates how the meter state and Estimation Needed status determine the behavior:
| Interval Time | 1:00 | 1:15 | 1:30 | 1:45 | 2:00 | 2:15 | 2:30 | 2:45 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
