# Meter Type

Meter Type is used to define and manage **different categories** of meters used for monitoring, measurement, and operational tracking within the inventory and asset management process. It helps standardize how meter readings are captured, processed, and monitored by associating reading types, units of measure, calculation methods, rollover handling, and threshold applicability.

Meter Type configurations are associated with modules such as

* Reading Type
* Asset Management
* Inventory operations

Where meter readings are used to monitor asset performance, track operational values, and manage measurement-based activities.

## **What you see on the screen**

The Meter Type listing page displays all configured meter types along with their associated reading type, unit of measure, calculation method, and threshold support details.

The screen includes:

* Meter Type Name configured for the meter.
* Meter Code associated with the meter type.
* Reading Type linked to the meter type.
* Unit of Measure associated with the reading type.
* Average Calculation Method configured for the meter.

Support Threshold status indicating whether threshold monitoring is enabled or disabled for the meter type.
