2. MeterMate 3.00 Structure MeterMate Profile Manager
Define up to 20 measures to be tracked by kV2
272 measurements to choose from
MeterMate Program Manager (MMPROG)
“MMWIN” equivalent for creating kV/kV2 programs, managing users & security codes

MM 3.00 Overview

6. New Concepts: Default vs. Template
Support Table Editors
Defaults:
Same concept used in MM 2.12
Used in MM 3.00 for Profile Independent Editors
Includes: Site, Meter Diagnostics, Rate Selection, and Modem Configuration Editors
May be modified and used directly by a Program
May be shared by kV or kV2 programs (except for Diagnostics support table)
MM 3.00 Overview

7. New Concepts: Default vs. Template
Support Table Editors
Templates:
Used in MM 3.00 for Profile Dependent Editors
Includes: Basic Meter, Display Tables, I/O & Alerts, Recorder, and Totalization Editors
May not be modified or used directly by a Program
Defaults may be created from a Template for a profile dependent editor
A support table named Default in a profile dependent editor will be the starting point for new support tables that use the same Profile.
If no Default exists for a profile, the Template will be the starting point for a new support table.

MM 3.00 Overview

9. New Concepts: Shared Resources
TOU Schedule and Calendar files
Now considered “Resources”
May be shared by kV and kV2 programs
Referenced in Rate Selection editor
Rate Selection support table may also be used in making a partial program
“Delayed implementation” of a Rate Selection support table is supported in the kV2
MM 3.00 Overview

10. New Concepts: Partial Programming
Applies to kV2 Only
Rate Selection (TOU Schedule and Calendar)
Profile Independent
May use any defined TOU Schedule and Calendar
Must save as a unique Rate Selection table
May be implemented immediately or scheduled for future implementation
Recorder
Profile Dependent
May change any parameter in the editor except minimum power outage duration definition
Existing LP data in the meter will be cleared upon reprogramming the recorder parameters
MM 3.00 Overview

11. New Concepts: Partial Programming
Applies to kV2 Only
I/O & Alerts
Profile Dependent
May change any output parameter
May only change input “magnitude per pulse” (not the type of input)
May change Prompt and Table choices
Interdependence with Totalization editor limits choices to existing I/O & Alerts tables only
MM 3.00 Overview

12. New Concepts: Pending RTP
Applies to kV2 Only
Controlled by MMDOS commands
No Modem board required to change RTP state
Use the Program | reConfig | rTp commands
Choose “Immediate” or “Future” execution of the change of state request
For “Future”, define the date/time of execution, whether to “Activate” or “Deactivate” the RTP
Any RTP activation delay in the program starts at the date/time specified
MM 3.00 Overview

13. New Concepts: User Groups
Applies to kV and kV2
Makes managing multiple users much easier
Create a User Group set of enabled functions
Examples: Technicians - Allowed to Program & Read; Readers - Allowed to Read and perform Demand Resets
New users get assigned to one of the User Groups
If upgrading from MM 2.12, old users will retain their assigned functions. A new “Group” is created for each MM 2.12 user.
