Measured value status

Each measured value stored in visual energy is assigned a status indicator. The status indicator provides information about the quality of this individual measured value or measurement period. The table below shows the permissible values and what they indicate:

Code	Status	Description	Permitted for billing purposes
0	Original value	Unmodified value from the measurement system. No adverse events have occurred.	Yes
1	Replacement value	Value calculated or corrected retrospectively.	Yes
2	Forecast value	Estimated or projected value.	No
3	Invalid value	Events that had an adverse effect occurred during the measurement period. The value must be validated.	No
4	Missing value	No measured values are available for this period. Specifying 0 as a value has no meaning.	No
5	Meter replacement, first reading	The meter reading is correct; however, as this is the first meter reading, consumption cannot be calculated based on the difference from the previous meter reading. This status is only available from visual energy version 5.1 onwards.	Yes

Processing rules

Measured values must be saved with a valid measured value status.
If measured values are aggregated or otherwise linked to one another, the result can never be better than the worst status.
In the case of analyses (e.g. reports / diagrams) or other outputs, the measured value status must be included in each instance.
