Duplicate IMD Check
This powerful, flexible validation rule compares measurements to historical statistics for the related Service Point. The system will maintain statistics such as the following: sum, min, max, average, median, zero value count, outage count, and standard deviation. Then you define formulas (no programming required) for the comparison of current measurements to these statistics.
