READCENTER® Reading Data Management
Read Input File
This function reads account information into READCENTER from an outside source, typically the billing system software.
This information may include new accounts or changes to existing accounts. It may also include the previous meter
reading and/or high and low limit ranges.
Select Read Input File from the main menu listed under the Interface heading.
Step 1 Click Browse to select the Input File Name and Location that holds your account information. Click View File to
verify this is the file of accounts you want.
Step 2 Choose an Interface Format from the drop down.
Step 3 Select Options that apply to what you want to do. These options should be discussed and set up during initial
training.
Step 4 Click Read File to process the Input File and update READCENTER. A message displays asking you to confirm your
selections. When the process completes, another message displays with the results.
Here is an example of the message asking you to confirm the options selected.
