Introduction
What is MetercatLite?
MetercatLite allows users to use command line (cmd.exe) to program A3 ALPHA meters using the optical port of the meter. MetercatLite uses the following files when programming a meter: a command file specifying the configuration parameters for the program task (usually a modified version of the detaults.txt file) See Command.txt on page 31. a Metercat PED file containing the program to be written to the meter a TXT file (defaults.txt) specifying default values for the configuration parameters If a configuration parameter is specified in the command file too, then the command file value will override the default value specified in defaults.txt. See Defaults.txt on page 27.
Note: You can edit the defaults.txt to change a default value of a parameter (for example, COM port number). Note: You can create and use customized versions of the defaults.txt file for use with different meter types. To use a customized defaults file explicitly name the defaults file in the MetercatLite command line. See Example MetercatLite command line (explicit) on page 8.
Figure 1-1. MetercatLite operation
1. Introduction
The MetercatLite programming process operates as follows: 1. Open a command prompt window. 2. At the prompt, navigate to the location of MetercatLite.exe. 3. At the prompt, type:
MetercatLite <command file>
where: <command file> specifies the full path and file name of the command file
Note: The full path can be specified (for example, C:\myfolder\sample_cmd_file.txt). If only the file name is specified, MetercatLite will search for the file in the current folder.
4. Press <Enter>. MetercatLite identifies the connected meter and attempts to program the meter using the PED file specified in the command file. Parameters not specified in the command file or the program PED file are read from the defaults.txt file.
System requirements
Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP or Windows Vista Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher An optical probe, such as the Elster UNICOM III USB Optical Probe, for communicating to A3 ALPHA meters
Installing MetercatLite
Note: MetercatLite does not require Metercat to be installed on the same computer. However, you will need access to a computer with Metercat to export the PED files used by MetercatLite. Note: Elster recommends that non-administrative users copy the defaults.txt and any command files to a folder location that is accessible to them and allows editing and saving of the files.
To install MetercatLite, follow the instructions in the Metercat Getting Started Guide.
2. Using MetercatLite
Using MetercatLite
About the command file

To use the command prompt to program a meter requires a text file (also known as a command file) containing the configuration parameters for the program task (see Sample command.txt file on page 31). The command file must contain at least the path and file name of PED file (meter program). Additionally, the command file can specify the following: system parameters communication parameters (optional) programming parameters
Using command line

To use command line: 1. From the Windows Start menu, select Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A Command Prompt window displays.
Figure 2-1. Command Prompt window

2. At the prompt, navigate to the \MetecatLite installation folder.
Using the MetercatLite command

The syntax for the MetercatLite command includes the following information: /pwd <password> - the Unrestricted meter password [optional] <command file name> - the file name for the Command.txt file [required] <defaults file name> - the file name for the Defaults.txt file [optional]
Example MetercatLite command line (explicit)

C:\MetercatLite\MetercatLite /pwd 00000000000000000000 command.txt defaults.txt
Example MetercatLite command line (basic)

C:\MetercatLite\MetercatLite command.txt
Using meter passwords

MetercatLite requires the Unrestricted access password of the meter to be programmed. The meter password can be invoked in the following ways: in the command file at the command line using the option /pwd. For example:
C:\MetercatLite\MetercatLite /pwd 00000000000000000001 sample_cmd_file.txt
The password value specified at the command line overrides any passwords specified in the command or defaults file (PASSWORD parameter). The command line /pwd option can be used to avoid specifying any password in the command and defaults files.

CT and VT
The CT and VT parameters specify the transformer ratios used in the meter. Valid values are in the range of 1.00 to 9999.99. If both parameters are not specified then values set in the PED file are used.
//CT = 1.0 //VT = 1.0
These are pair parameters, either both or neither of them are overridden. If one of these parameters is missing but the other is specified then the task assumes the missing parameter has a value of 1.0 and CT VT overrides the PED program value.
//CT = 1.0 VT = 1.0
Or
CT = 1.0 //VT = 1.0

To use the value specified in the PED file, comment the parameter using two f-slashes (//):
//DEMAND_OVERLOAD=0
USE_ADJUSTED_KH
The USE_ADJUSTED_KH parameter indicates whether the value specified in the ADJUSTED_KH parameter will be programmed in the meter. Valid values are: TRUE - the ADJUSTED_KH value will be programmed into the meter FALSE - (default) the REGISTER_MULTIPLIER value will be programmed into the meter
USE_ADJUSTED_KH = FALSE
ADJUSTED_KH
If USE_ADJUSTED_KH is TRUE, the ADJUSTED_KH value will be programmed in the meter. The value of REGISTER_MULTIPLIER (if any) is ignored. Valid value is in the range of 0.001 to 999.999.
ADJUSTED_KH = 10.000
If USE_ADJUSTED_KH is TRUE and ADJUSTED_KH is commented using two f-slashes (//), MetercatLite programs ADJUSTED_KH = 0.001.
MetercatLite User Guide //ADJUSTED_KH = 1.0
22
REGISTER_MULTIPLIER
If USE_ADJUSTED_KH = FALSE, the REGISTER_MULTIPLIER parameter value will be programmed in the meter. The value of ADJUSTED_KH (if any) is ignored. Valid values are in the range of 0.1 to 1000000.
