Meter Run Tags

Meter Run tags are created automatically when you configure a Flow Controller. You will seldom need to create or configure these tags yourself. The information in this topic is provided for reference .

The Meter Run tags are Oil & Gas Solutions tags that provide three distinct functions:

  • Provide a container to hold hourly logs, daily logs, and process values, all of which are monitored using automatically-generated child tags.
  • Provide a user interface to change commonly adjusted configuration settings for the flow meter run. (This is done using a widget, not by configuring the Meter Run tag.)
  • Provide the tools to accept and store the meter run configuration values from the field I/O device.
