FMS Legacy Configuration Data Group

The "FMS Legacy Configuration Data" (GmrConfig) data group only gets data requested by FMS.

The "FMS Legacy Configuration" data group depends on one or more support data groups for its data. Support data groups are found in the supportDg element of your sample template. Mapping between "FMS Legacy Configuration" data group elements and FMS Legacy data items is within the configItems element of gmrMaps in the device template file. Optional data groups can be used to get similar data for different meter types. See also FMS Legacy Configuration Data Items.

Example

The configuration for an orifice meter is found in the MeterOrif data group and the configuration for a turbine meter is found in the MeterTurb data group. For any given meter run, only one of these data groups is configured. For a turbine meter run, the MeterTurb data group is configured, but the MeterOrif data group is not, so only data from the MeterTurb data group is sent to the EFM service.

Exactly what support data group(s) you choose depends on your unique setup and needs. --> <GmrConfig> <dgElements/> <supportDg required="false"> <SupportDataGroup/> </supportDg> <uccRecvParms> <UISParameter/> </uccRecvParms> </GmrConfig>

To Create a Data Group

1. Using a text editor or XML editor, open the device template file to which you want to add data groups.
2. Define a new data group.
   1. Define a supportDg element.
   2. Define all support data groups from which you require data.
   3. Define a dgElements element.
   4. Define a uccRecvParms element in the data group.
   5. Define one or more RecParmName elements.
3. Define any other required data groups.
4. Validate and load your template.
