Octave Configuration Guide 36
Baud Rate – specify the maximum data transfer speed (bits per second) your
serial communication channel supports, per the speeds Octave supports:
• 300
• 2400
• 9600
Volume Resolution – set the resolution for the transferred volume output.
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, thus optimizing battery use.
Device ID – a number assigned to the Octave device that the master uses to
identify this meter’s ordinal position relative to other slave devices.
Data Telegram – select the data to be included in the reply-to-master telegram:
• Alarms – data per the selected alarm types (see below)
• Supplier Info – the meter’s serial number (AMR Serial Number)
• Temperature – water temperature data
• RTC Meter – the time stamp of when the meter’s measurements were
read
• Forward Volume – data of forward flow measurements
• Backward Volume – data of reverse flow measurements
• Net Signed Volume – data of the net flow, i.e. forward flow minus
re
verse flow. Reverse net flow is indicated with a preceding minu
s
si
gn (-)
• Net Unsigned Volume – data of the net flow, i.e. forward flow minus
re
verse flow, using zero as a reference point to indicate whether th
e
ne
t volume is forward flow or reverse flow (reverse flow coun
ts from
z
ero backwards: 0.999, 0.998....)
• Flow – flow data, i.e., flow resolution and measurement units
