read success rate (RSR)

Percentage of meter reads saved to the relational database management system (RDBMS) during a 24-hour period. For example, the default interval schedule reads meters every two hours or 12 times per day. If a meter is read 11 times, the RSR is 92%.

The RSR is a useful metric for determining the reachability of a meter during various times of day. This data determines at what times of day meter reachability declines so administrators can plan schedules accordingly. Unlike BSR, which is a metric for successfully completed, intact meter reads that correspond to a business rule (completed reads from midnight to midnight), RSR is a metric for meter reads per schedule. See also billing success rate (BSR) and message success rate (MSR).
