From the drop-down select one of the following meters: Level, Flow, Temperature, Pressure, Analyzer, Miscellaneous, Target, Deviation and Dual Level

Enter a name for the equipment associated with the meter. You can enter a maximum of 160 characters for this option.

Prefix applied to the equipment item name. This allows for displaying multiple values for a single piece of equipment. For example, you want to create three meters to monitor power, voltage and current for a single pump. You would create three meters on the pump and assign the equipment item prefix "Power", "Voltage" and "Current". So, the PV values for the meters would be PowerPV, VoltagePV and CurrentPV respectively.

Note: To get a meter with a prefix to work correctly, you need to create tags with the required item names. From the example above, you will need to create the tags PowerPV, PowerOP, VoltagePV, VoltageOP, CurrentPV, CurrentOP and so on.

The following equipment item names (where applicable) can be prefixed:

• FB
• FullScale
• OP
• ORDsp
• ORLow
• ORHigh
• PRLow
• PRHigh
• PV
• PVTrack
• PVTarget
• SP
• Timer
• TrackDsp
