    The AVReporter contains two different types of virtual meter calculation.


    1st type: Realtime Device Manager Modul
    (Desktop Manager -> AVReporter Settings -> Manage Plugin modules –> Realtime Device Manager Module)

    You can add devices to the expression. After initialization the service collects all common quantities from the devices and calculates it.


    Example:

    Namespace: Test namespace
    Device name: Test Meter Nr.1
    Quantities: Active Power, Active Energy Delivered, Reactive Power, Reactive Energy Delivered, Reactive Energy Received

    Namespace: Test namespace
    Device name: Test Meter Nr.2
    Quantities: Active Power, Active Energy Received, Reactive Power, Reactive Energy Received,

    Namespace: Test namespace
    Virtual meter: Test VM
    Virtual meter expression: [Test namespace-> Test Meter Nr.1]+ [Test namespace-> Test Meter Nr.2]

    The calculated quantities are:
    - TestVM -> Active Power <= Test Meter Nr.1->Active Power + Test Meter Nr.2->Active Power
    - TestVM -> Reactive Power <= Test Meter Nr.1->Reactive Power + Test Meter Nr.2->Reactive Power
    - TestVM -> Reactive Energy Received <= TestMeter Nr.1->Reactive Energy Received + Test Meter Nr.2->Reactive Energy Received


    You CAN NOT calculate with different type of quantities in this virtual meter !!!



    2nd type: Advanced Virtual Meter Manager
    (Desktop Manager -> AVReporter Settings -> Manage Plugin modules –> Advanced Virtual Meter Manager)

    You can add quantities to the expression.

    Example:

    Namespace: Test namespace
    Device name: Test Meter Nr.1
    Quantities: Active Power, Active Energy Delivered, Reactive Power, Reactive Energy Delivered, Reactive Energy Received

    Namespace: Test namespace
    Device name: Test Meter Nr.2
    Quantities: Active Power, Active Energy Received, Reactive Power, Reactive Energy Received,

    Namespace: Test namespace
    Virtual meter: Test VM Nr.1 -> Active Power
    Virtual meter expression: [Test namespace-> Test Meter Nr.1 -> Active Power ]+ [Test namespace-> Test Meter Nr.2 -> Active Power]

    The calculated quantity is:
    - TestVM -> Active Power <= Test Meter Nr.1->Active Power + Test Meter Nr.2->Active Power


    Namespace: Test namespace
    Virtual meter: Test VM Nr.2 -> Calculated Value
    Virtual meter expression: [Test namespace-> Test Meter Nr.1 -> Active Power ]+ [Test namespace-> Test Meter Nr.2 -> Reactive Power]

    The calculated quantity is:
    - TestVM Nr.2 -> Calculated Value <= Test Meter Nr.1->Active Power + Test Meter Nr.2-> Reactive Power

    You CAN calculate with different type of quantities in this virtual meter !!!
