Octave Configuration Guide 33
Refer to the Glossary for unfamiliar abbreviations.
Slave Address – set the slave address used for the Octave meter in the range
of 1 to 247.
Flow Resolution – set the resolution for the transferred flow-rate output.
Baud Rate – specify the maximum data transfer speed (bits per second) your
serial communication channel supports, per the speeds Octave supports:
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600
Volume Resolution – set the resolution for the transferred volume output.
Parity – select the parity scheme to apply for detecting single-bit errors.
• Odd
• Even
• None
Stop Bit – keep the default of “1 Stop Bit”.
Working Mode – set what triggers data transfer from Octave to the master
device:
• “By Request” – Octave sends specific data in response to a specific
request from the master device
• “Polling” – Octave sends all data in response to periodic polling by
th
e master device
Polling Period (min) – when the working mode is “Polling”, set the polling
interval in minutes. The value should be an effective choice that considers the
time it takes for data to change, thu s optimizing battery use.
Alarms – select the check boxes of those conditions that will trigger alarms (via
the meter’s output that reaches the control center):
• Low Battery
• Measurement Fail
• Leakage
• Flow Rate Alarm
