Figure 4.2 RoadMAPS Automatic Meter Reading
At any point in the automatic read mode, the meter reader can
selectively check the route status or the meter reading of an indi-
vidual account.
With the software performing the reading, the meter reader can
make the following decisions:
• Select the route to view from the menu and drive to that route.
• Go back to a route if there are significant missed readings
after the first pass and reread the route.
• Terminate reading operations at any time by selecting Exit
Program.
