RoadMAPS Overview
RoadMAPS User’s Manual 2-9
To initiate the route reading, select the Read
Route button. The Reading indicator will
now display a pulsing arrow with a “Reading” mes-
sage, indicating the RoadMAPS receiver is reading
and storing meter reading data.
Once you begin reading meters, the Read Route
button changes to the Pause Route but-
ton. Selecting this button temporarily stops the
reading process, and the Reading indicator dis-
plays a “Paused” message. When reactivated,
RoadMAPS will resume reading at the point where
it previously stopped.
Message area and progress bar
The message area on RoadMAPS screens indicates the number
and percentage of meters on the route that were read successfully.
A graphical progress bar also shows the percentage of the route
that is complete. Before meter reading begins, no accounts are
reported as read and the progress bar is blank.
When all readings are complete, the last route is listed on the
progress bar with the percentage complete. Usually, you can tell if
a meter is missed because, although addresses on the current
route or other routes continue to be read, the route does not
progress to a read status of 100%.
If the Reading arrow is not pulsing, the PC may be working on new reads. Wait a few
seconds. If for any reason no read data is received for a period longer than five seconds,
the Automatic Reading indicator stops pulsing.
