The Profile Tracking Period attribute determines the time period for the Current Profile and Previous Profile attributes in the Profile tab. This is customarily set to the utility’s billing period. If you change the Profile Tracking Period, the Current Profile is copied to the Previous Profile, and a new Current Profile is started. When Manual is selected, the Current Profile and Previous Profile are only changed when the user commands the DLLR object to Reset Profile. Possible settings include:
-
Manual
-
Hourly
-
Daily
-
Weekly
-
Monthly
Table 1 describes when the start and end times are set based on the tracking period.
