Type of Meter

Option	Description
Standalone	Select so that the equipment will not receive meter readings based on its established parent equipment meters of the same UOM, nor will it send meter readings to any of its established child equipment meters of the same UOM.
Parent	Select to send the equipment’s meter readings down to child equipment. If you have parent/child relationships among equipment, specify meter readings for the parent piece of equipment only when adding meter readings.
Child	Select to enable the child equipment to receive usage information from a higher-level piece of equipment. The child equipment’s unit of measure (UOM) must match that of the parent.
Parent & Child	Select to receive meter readings based on entries made for its parent equipment meters of the same UOM, and it will send meter readings to its children.
