NOTE: All cells in the parameters tabbed page grid must be filled with valid data prior to upload or the
software will not upload the parameters to the ME2100 meter.

6.3 To upload fuel parameters to the ME2100 meter
6.2.1
6.2.2
With the mouse, left-click the “Parameters” tab to display the parameters tabbed page.
With the left mouse button, click the grid cell to modify and type in the new data.
This can be done with both the fuel type name cells and the numeric parameter cells.
6.2.3 If so desired, there is a large list of existing fuel parameters that can be selected from.
Select the fuel parameter row in the grid to be changed using a left-click, then right-click and
select “Import from Fuels List” or select “Edit → Import from Fuels List” from the menu.
A large list of fuel parameters will appear.
6.3.1 With the mouse, left-click the “Parameters” tab to display the parameters tabbed page if not already
selected. Any updates and modifications should be done in the grid. If merely changing just some of
the existing meter parameters first download the existing meter parameters as outlined in section 5.1
and then modify as required, outlined in section 5.2.
6.3.2 Once the desired fuel parameters have been entered into the parameters tabbed page grid, click the
“Upload to ME2100” button or select “ME2100 → Parameter Upload” from the menu.
6.3.3 If the upload was successful then a small information dialogue should appear indicating “Upload Complete”
Click “OK”. If the “Upload Complete” information dialogue box does not appear within a few seconds,
then there may be a problem with communications.
Check that the meter power is still on and ensure communications is working, then try again.
See Appendix 4 for further details.
6.2.4 To quickly locate a fuel in the list, enter a partial name in the search box at the top of the list and
press enter. NOTE that since not all descriptions in the list follow a careful naming convention,
it is often more effective to enter something like “euc” for eucalyptus types, since they are sometimes
labeled as eucy and sometimes as eucalypt, etc. The search algorithm is very simple and does a
simple case-insensitive text search.
Clearing the search box and pressing enter will cause all fuels to reappear.
6.2.5 From the list of available fuel parameters in the “Fuel Parameters List” dialogue box, double left-click
the desired fuel to import or left-click once and select “Select” from the menu. The new fuel parameters
will now replace the previously selected ones in the parameters tabbed page.
Note that the fuel type name may not be meaningful since it is truncated so it is advisable to modify
it before uploading the new parameters to the ME2100
