Introduction

MetercatLite is a command line application that allows programming

the following device families:
 A3 ALPHA® and A1800 ALPHA meters using the optical port
 REXUniversal® meters using the optical port
 IP AxisLink® using the USB port

MetercatLite also supports the use of the Read tasks (diagnostic and
billing) for the following device families:
 A3 ALPHA and A1800 ALPHA meters
 REX/REX2 meters
 REXUniversal meters
 IP AxisLink devices

MetercatLite requires Microsoft Windows Vista or later. If you are

communicating with a meter, an optical probe (such as the Elster
UNICOM III probe) is required.

For more information:

See the Metercat installation manual (TM42-3050) for information
on installing MetercatLite.

General procedure

To use MetercatLite, you must open a command prompt window and

change directories to the MetercatLite location. The default location
of MetercatLite.exe is C:\Program Files <x86>\Elster\Metercat.
File Description
The defaults file contains the complete list
of available parameters (global,
communication, and task). Any parameters
not specified in the command file or in the
Defaults
.PED file are read from the defaults file.
Note: Be sure to create a backup copy of the
defaults file in case you need to revert back
to the original file that MetercatLite installs.
MetercatLite execution is controlled by a set
of parameters that you define in the
Command command file. Parameters set in the
command file override the corresponding
parameters in the defaults file.
Contains the Metercat program to be written
Metercat .PED
to the devices.

Note: If users don't have administrative privileges on the

computer, copies of the files should be in a folder that is
accessible to all users.
When specifying a file name, you can use just the file name to have
MetercatLite only search in the current directory for the file. You can
also specify the full path to the file.
 Basic command form: MetercatLite command_file_name
Example: MetercatLite command.txt
 Extended command form: MetercatLite command_file_name
defaults_file_name
Example: MetercatLite command.txt defaults.txt
MetercatLite identifies the connected device and attempts to
program or read it. When the attempt is complete, MetercatLite will
generate a completion report indicating the status (whether it
succeeded or failed) and any relevant information about the attempt.

The font used by the command prompt may need to be changed to

correctly display certain languages.
1 Click on the command prompt window icon located on the top-
left corner of the Command Prompt window.
2 Select Properties and then click the Font tab.
3 Configure the fonts as appropriate for your selected language.

/PWD OR /PWDH
Example: MetercatLite /pwd 00000000000000000000 command.txt
defaults.txt

5
Parameters

Example: MetercatLite /pwdh

30303030303030303030303030303030 command.txt defaults.txt
MetercatLite requires the unrestricted password to program the
meter. The password can be provided in the command file or at the
command line prompt. Also, specifying the password at the
command prompt overrides any password value stored in the
command file.
Use /pwd to specify the password in decimal format; use /pwdh to
specify the password in hexadecimal format.

/OVR
Example: MetercatLite /ovr "section-name|parameter-
name|value"
This switch overrides a parameter in the command file. Use the
boolean values 0 and 1 for the values TRUE and FALSE, respectively.

Global section
Sample
//****************************************************************************
//****** GLOBAL parameters ***************************************************
//****************************************************************************
[GLOBAL]
REPORT_FILENAME= "Reports\McatLiteReportProgram.html"
SHOW_PROGRESS = TRUE
AUTOID_STRATEGY = {"A3_A1800"} // "REX" option for REX meter identification

The global section of the defaults file and the command file contain
the values for the system parameters.
To embed special characters in a string-type parameter, you must
prefix the string with C and use the backslash \ before the special
character.
Example: METER_ID_1 = C"1234\'567\'890"
The example results in 1234'567'890 being programmed in the meter
for METER_ID_1.

AUTOID_STRATEGY
The AUTOID_STRATEGY parameter specifies the meter family for which
the device identification will be attempted using the optical probe.
It is recommended to leave the option as A3_A1800. The REX option is
for future extension and should not be used.

REPORT_FILENAME
The REPORT_FILENAME parameter allows you to specify the path and
file name for the MetercatLite Completion Report.

SHOW_PROGRESS
The SHOW_PROGRESS parameter allows you specify whether to display
the percent progress of the command execution in the Command
Prompt window. Valid values are:
 FALSE - the percentage completion of task progress will not be
displayed in the Command Prompt window
 TRUE - (default) the percentage completion will be displayed in
the Command Prompt window

Parameters

METERING_APP
The METERING_APP parameter specifies the meter’s position relative
to a transformer. Valid values are:
 PROGRAM_VALUE - default

 PRIMARY

 SECONDARY
If PROGRAM_VALUE is specified, the setting specified in the PED file will
be programmed into the meter.
If PRIMARY is specified, transformer ratios will be used to calculate
the measured energy and demand quantities.
If SECONDARY is specified, transformer ratios will not be used to
calculate adjusted Ke and the energy and demand quantities will not
be adjusted.
Example: METERING_APP = SECONDARY

CT AND VT
The CT parameter and VT parameter specify the transformer ratios
used in the meter. Valid values are in the range of 1.00 to 9999.99.
If both parameters are not specified then values set in the PED file
are used.

//VT = 1.0
These are paired parameters: either both are overridden or neither of
them is. If one of these parameters is missing but the other is
specified then the task assumes the missing parameter has a value
of 1.0 and CT × VT overrides the PED program value.
Example:
//CT = 1.0

VT = 1.0
or
CT = 1.0

//VT = 1.0

is ignored. Valid value is in the range of 0.001 to 999.999.
Example: ADJUSTED_KH = 10.000
If USE_ADJUSTED_KH is TRUE and ADJUSTED_KH is commented using
two slashes (//), MetercatLite programs ADJUSTED_KH = 0.001.
Example: //ADJUSTED_KH = 1.0

REGISTER_MULTIPLIER
If USE_ADJUSTED_KH = FALSE, the REGISTER_MULTIPLIER parameter
value will be programmed in the meter. The value of ADJUSTED_KH (if
any) is ignored. Valid values are in the range of 0.1 to 1000000.
Example: REGISTER_MULTIPLIER = 1.0
To use the value specified in the PED file, comment the

folder that the billing readings and diagnostic readings will be stored
in. You can select the same folder that the MetercatLite.exe file is
located in; or, you may specify any valid, existing, and accessible
path (that is, you must have sufficient privileges in the existing folder
to save the .msr file).
 Example 1: To select the same folder that MetercatLite.exe is
located in: READING_STORAGE_FOLDER = "./"
 Example 2: To specify any folder using its complete path:
READING_STORAGE_FOLDER = "c:/path/folder"

Note: MetercatLite uses the forward slash / character.

MetercatLite will automatically create up to 2 subfolders in the
READING_STORAGE_FOLDER location. The Billing subfolder is used to
store billing read files, and the Diagnostic subfolder is used to store
diagnostic read files.

READING_FILENAME_ID
The READING_FILENAME_ID parameter determines how the stored
reading gets its name. Metercat (and MetercatLite) supports two ID
parameters used in reports and by the PC for identifying the meter.
By default, the values are used as follows:
 METER_ID_1 is used to identify the account number

 METER_ID_2 is used for the meter ID. For more information

regarding these parameters
See the Metercat documentation for more information on the Site ID
labels.
Example: READING_FILENAME_ID = METER_ID_1

LOAD PROFILING PARAMETERS

The load profiling parameters control how data is read and handled.
You can choose either LOAD_PROFILE_MODE to select a generic range
of load profiling records or LOAD_PROFILE_DAYS to select a specific
number of days.

LOAD_PROFILE_MODE parameters:
 NONE - does not read or store load profiling data

 UNREAD - Only load profiling data that is marked as "unread" will

be read.

27
Parameters

 UNREAD_WITH_UPDATE - Only load profiling data that is marked as

"unread" will be read; the unread marker will be updated to
indicate that the load profiling data up to this point has been
read. UNREAD_WITH_UPDATE is only available if you are
performing a billing read.
Example: LOAD_PROFILE_MODE = ALL

LOAD_PROFILE_DAYS parameters:
You may specify the number of days from 1 to 999.
Example: LOAD_PROFILE_DAYS = 30

INSTRUMENTATION PROFILING PARAMETERS

The instrumentation profiling parameters control how data is read
and handled. You can choose either

 NONE - Does not read or store instrumentation profiling data

 ALL - All instrumentation profiling data is read

 UNREAD - Only instrumentation profiling data that is marked as

"unread" will be read.
 UNREAD_WITH_UPDATE - Only instrumentation profiling data that is
marked as "unread" will be read; the unread marker will be
updated to indicate that the instrumentation profiling data up to
this point has been read. UNREAD_WITH_UPDATE is only
available if you are performing a billing read.
Example: INSTRUMENTATION_PROFILE_MODE = ALL

INSTRUMENTATION_PROFILE_DAYS parameters:
You may specify the number of days from 1 to 999.

LAN_BOARD_DATA
If the meter is installed with a gatekeeper module or an EA_NIC
option board, you can control how the board's data is handled using
LAN_BOARD_DATA.

 STATUS_ONLY - only the status information is returned with the

reading.
 ALL - all of the board's data is read and returned with the
reading.
Example: LAN_BOARD_DATA = STATUS_ONLY

READER_NOTES
The READER_NOTES parameter allows you to store a multi-line note in
the reading. To embed special characters in a string-type parameter,
you must prefix the string with C and use the backslash \ before the
special character.
Example: C"12345 \x0A 67890"
The example results in the following being stored in the reading as a
multi-line note:
12345
67890

TIME_DIFF_LIMIT
You can control whether a warning is generated if the meter's time is
off by the specified value. You must specify the
TIME_DIFF_LIMIT.HOUR (from 0 to 23) and the
TIME_DIFF_LIMIT.MINUTE (0 to 59).

 If these parameters are not set, the reading does not check the
meter's time.
 If these parameters are both set to 0, the reading will generate a
warning if the meter's time is off by any value.
Example:
 TIME_DIFF_LIMIT.HOUR = 1

 TIME_DIFF_LIMIT.MINUTE = 15
In the example, a warning is reported if the meter's time differs for
more than 75 minutes.

PERFORM_DEMAND_RESET
If you are performing a billing read, PERFORM_DEMAND_RESET specifies
whether the reading will also initiate a demand reset.

29
Parameters

 FALSE - No demand reset will be performed.

Example: PERFORM_DEMAND_RESET = FALSE

TIME SYNCH MODE

If you are performing a billing read, the TIME_SYNCH_MODE specifies
when a meter time adjustment is handled.
 NEVER - A billing read will never adjust the meter time.

 ALWAYS - A billing read will always adjust the meter time.

 IN_RANGE - A billing read will only adjust the meter time if the
error is within a specified range. If the meter time error is outside
the range, the billing read will contain a warning; however, the
time is not adjusted.
Example: TIME_SYNCH_MODE = IN_RANGE
If you are specifying a range, you must specify the low end of the
range (in hours and minutes) and the high end of the range (in hours
and minutes). Meter time is synchronized with the PC time if the time
difference is in the range TIME_SYNCH_LOW_BOUND <= Meter PC time
difference <= TIME_SYNCH_HIGH_BOUND.
 TIME_SYNCH_LOW_BOUND.HOUR - Must be a value between 0 and
23
 TIME_SYNCH_LOW_BOUND.MINUTE - Must be a value between 0 and
59
