meas4meter

Name:
meas4meter - Admin utility to list all the discharge measurements that use a particular meter or meters

Information:

At times it can be very handy to find out exactly what discharge measurements in SiteVisit were done with a particular meter or meters. This script does the trick

Usage meas4meter [-z db_no] 'serial_no' 'serial_no' 'serial_no' .......

Notes:
- The database number (-z argument) is optional and defaults to 01
- As many meters as desired can be added to the command line.
- The use of quotation marks is only required if the serial number has spaces in it.
- Partial serial numbers are allowed and if used the script will find all meters that start with the given serial numbers

Sample Output:

> meas4meter ME_P9 ME_P6
