Progress
The Badger-Radix keeps records on the total number of meters, the number of meters
read, the number of meters that failed to report, the number of tamper reports received,
etc. If you wish to view this information, press the Utilities “U” button from the Read
Menu followed by the Progress “P” button from the Utilities Menu.
You can also display the Progress screen by using the “O” Hot Key.
The Badger-Radix Progress screen displays these statistics:
• Total number of meters stored in the Badger-Radix
• Current number of meters for which readings have not yet been attempted
• The total number of meters for which readings have been obtained or have been
unsuccessful (number attempted)
• The total number of failed reads
• The percentage of meters of the total meters in the Badger-Radix that have been
attempted
• The number of tamper conditions reported (this total does not include any meters
in which the tampers have been reset)
• The number of unexpected manual reads (of meters equipped with automatic
meter reading equipment)
The screen looks like this.
If your Badger-Radix has a thousand or more meters, it may take 10 to 15 seconds to see
the numbers displayed on this screen. This is because the Badger-Radix is examining
each meter in the database in order to build the values for this screen.
