8.2 Archive Generation
The archives can be generated during one of the following situations:

Upon period end

Upon event

Upon processor command
You can configure if the archives should be generated upon period end and/or
event using the AFC Manager (Meter Configuration / Archive Config /
Options)
Refer to the AFC Manager User Manual for more information about this topic. By
default the archives are generated upon period end and event.
If the archive is configured to be created upon period end, it will be periodically
(daily or hourly) generated at the time configured by the End-of-day minute and
End-of-hour minute parameters (Project / Site Configuration).
If the archive is configured to be created upon event, it will be generated every
time an event occurs. For example, if an operator changes the orifice diameter
for Meter 1, the module would automatically generate a new archive to save the
relevant data to this point. Refer to this User Manual for the Events section for
more information about events.
Note: Changing a meter type, product group, system of units, or primary input parameter will erase
all archives for that meter.
