The Meter summary lists the table records that provide information on volume moving into (Receipt) and out of (Delivery) the pipeline. This process is known as batching. The State of the metering device updates periodically to reflect if there are any changes.
The information can be provided by either the batch transfer or Virtual Flow Computer (VFC) record. Selection of a row in this summary will open the appropriate Control dialog, which contains record information. For example, if the batching information is being displayed by the VFC, the Virtual Flow Computer (VFC) Control display will appear.
The following table details the items on the Meter summary section of the Pipeline Control window.
