7. Images for the Itron SENTINAL Meter The IESO has experienced meter registration difficulties when MSPs create MIRT files using their own MV 90 system and include a config file name in the TIM Config File field located on the More tab of the Recorder data record For any MSP that chooses to create a MIRT file using their own MV 90 system to export a MIRT file rather than composing the MIRT file using the MIRT software it is imperative that the TIM Config File field be blank within the MIRT file submitted to the IESO Failure to do this will result in the MSP being assessed with a Meter Registration Error The IESO is presently modifying its internal MIRT file review process to verify this field is blank and will not accept any MIRT file that contains a non blank TIM Config File field When incoming MIRT files are discovered with characters in the TIM Config File field the IESO will not process the MIRT file and will request the MSP to submit a replacement MIRT file amp Master File Maintenance x File Edit Navigate Search Help tol Elma 417 3 1000078911 ABH12346 Recorder More Comm Plugging Route Inputs Relays f Suppl TIM Number 30 G3 Daisy Chain NG Master Slave x Device Follows DST Master ID LOP Option w a Time Zone Adjust ao Auto Timeset 7 Battery Install 0000 00 00 T Memory Size Kb 55 Days On Batey TIM Config File Min On Battery
