Parameter
Description
Important: The end-of-period (End-of-day hour and End-of-hour minute) settings are global
settings, unless these settings are set by meter on the Meter Configuration page. If these
parameters are set per meter, and enabled under control options, the options specified per
meter take precedence over the same settings on the Site Configuration page. For more
information see section 4.3,
“Setting End-of-Period Parameters,” on page 44.
Barometric pressure
This parameter sets the barometric pressure used on the module
calculations. The module expects each meter's pressure input to be in gauge
units. Because the AGA8, AGA3, and some API2540 calculations require the
pressure of the fluid to be in absolute units, the module adds barometric
pressure to the gauge pressure in order to obtain the absolute pressure.
The calculation assumes that all meters measured by a single AFC are
located at the same site and have the same barometric pressure.
