• Flow Rate: BPM - Volume: Barrel
• Flow Rate: Lt/m - Volume: m

Refer to the Glossary for unfamiliar abbreviations.
Num of Digits – set the number of digits left of the decimal point that will be
sent as the read water volume. The protocol supports up to 8 digits.
For example, if the Octave reading is 123456789.125 m
3
and the Encoder
output is set to 8 digits the transferred reading will be: 23456789. If the
Encoder output is set to 3 digits the transferred reading will be: 789.
Resolution – set the flow rate resolution, i.e. the number of digits after the
decimal point.
• 0.0001
• 0.001
• 0.01
• 0.1
• 1
• 10
• 100
• 1000
• 10000
Counter Type – set the identifying type for the counted volume
• “Net Unsigned” - data of the net flow, i.e. forward flow minus reverse
flow, using zero as a reference point to indicate whether the net
volume is forward flow or reverse flow (reverse flow counts from zero
backwards: 0.999, 0.998....)
• “Forward” - data of forward flow measurements
• “Backward” - data of forward flow measurements
Update Mode – set the intervals between marching data out of the meter to the
reading system.
• “Period” – the data will be marched out the meter every n minutes,
per the interval you set the interval between in the In Minutes field.
• “Once” – the data will be marched out the meter once a day per the
time you set in the First field.
• “Twice” – the data will be marched out of the meter twice a a day at
the times you set in the First and Second fields.
