5.10.2Compare Excel Meter Configurations (Logs/Reports Menu)

This utility provides the ability to compare configurations stored in Excel® Maintenance logs, Archive Logs, Flow Calibration Logs, and Zero Flow Calibration logs. The default location for saving the compare results will be the directory from which the first file selected to compare is located. This utility can not compare configurations stored in different system units. (i.e. U.S Customary vs. Metric). Only Excel® log files can be compared.

Daniel MeterLink will prompt you to select the files to compare. Once the files are selected, a dialog will display providing options to further customize the compare operation.
