9.4 Event-triggered Archives and Accumulator Resets
Each archive file (two for each meter) contains an Archive Options bitmap whose
configuration specifies the actions to be scheduled (write archive and/or reset
resettable accumulator(s)) when an event occurs (daily or hourly period-end, or
most loggable events). Archives and/or resets are scheduled only for enabled
meters (with one important clarification; see "Rkv" notes (page 151)). The actions
to be taken upon period-end and those to be taken upon loggable events are
configured separately.
Several archive/reset-triggering events can occur simultaneously. In such cases
the archive or reset occurs only once (an archive is written only when archivable
data has been accumulated for at least one meter scan; additional resets of
already-reset accumulators have no effect).
Scheduled accumulator resets are performed at the top of the meter scan. This
permits their final values to be inspected/fetched/archived while the AFC rotates
its scan among the other meters.
Scheduled archives are written at the top of the meter scan, at its bottom, or
between successive scans, depending on the nature of the triggering event.
Archives written at the top of the scan are written before any accumulator resets.
