To modify the calibration factor requires the correction to be entered in the percentage error. The
percentage error is calculated as shown in

and the updated calibration values are calculated and written to the EVM. The corresponding values are
shown in the
Meter Calibration Factor
window.

Known Issues
The calibrator software is legacy software that operates with utility meters and has not been customized
completely for embedded metering. The following list are the known issues with the existing software.
These issues are scheduled to be fixed in the next version of calibrator software that is customized for
embedded metering.
•
Neutral Monitoring is shown in the
Meters Features
window as a supported feature, but this is not
correct. When wire resistance compensation or inlet capacitor compensation is enabled, the calibrator
interprets this as neutral monitoring support.
•
Resistance value of wire resistance compensation and capacitance value of inlet capacitor
compensation cannot be programmed with calibrator software.
•
Voltage ac offset value cannot be written with the calibrator software. The value that is entered in the
Voltage AC offset field is written to the Current AC offset, instead. The value that is entered in the
Current AC offset box has no effect.
•
DC Offset values cannot be written to the EVM with the calibration software. The current firmware
takes the current and voltage dc offset value every time any calibration value is updated.
•
Aggregate current in the [Meter Status] window always shows 10.0000 A.
