| Load Equipment | The meter can be assigned to a particular motor, load, MCC, or panel. Selecting Motor places all available motors in the ID Name list. Multiple meters can be assigned to one motor, but only data from the last one assigned is saved to that equipment item’s SCADA fields. |
| Association |

After a meter is associated, it is no longer be available in the Site and Meter lists. When meter information is available, choosing Save or Store Scenario stores the information into the SCADA fields of the equipment item assigned in Load Equipment ID Name. |
