The unique meter ID format for a given utility is defined in the “.ini” file. Any
discrepancy in the meter ID format is noted in a message window, which
prompts the operator to re-enter the meter ID prior to module programming. The
association record of meter ID, module LAN Address, date, operator’s name, and
result of operation is captured in the file “programlog.txt”.
