MIRT file Corruption Checking

MIRT file header is equal for all channels

Test all boundary conditions as indicated below
make sure the "header" portion of each channel is the same.
'get the channel 0 header areas
h1_0 = Mid(tstMIRT.getChannel(0).getText, 1, 935)
h2_0 = Mid(tstMIRT.getChannel(0).getText, 1300, 9)
h3_0 = Mid(tstMIRT.getChannel(0).getText, 1391, 51)

MIRT file channel records are all the right length

Shorten and lengthen a MIRT record to test the boundary conditions.

MIRT record length = 1444 + carriage return & line feed

 Number of MIRT file channels >= Number of Template channels

Do a comparison where The MIRT file has less records than the template.

Comparisons/tests

Template compare

MIRT values are compared directly against the corresponding value of the template.

Randomly test fields that are defined as template compare. Results depend on field type

Device s/n test

- the device serial number must match MM_Master (MIRT.MM_METERID ) for all
channels. A mismatch results in a warning.

Redundant check ID test

Any mismatch results in a critical error.

if meter type (template.RM_MTRTYPE) = main

MIRT.RM_RDRECID must = MIRT.CM_CUSTID +1
Else
RM_RDRECID must = template. RM_RDRECID
End if

CT PT Ratio Check

3 part test. Any mismatch results in a critical error.

1.) MIRT.MM_PTRATIO must be the same for all channels that have a
MIRT.MM_UMCODE = 7

2.) MIRT.MM_PTRATIO must be the same for all channels that have a
MIRT.MM_UMCODE = 10

3.) MIRT.MM_PTRATIO must = template. MM_PTRATIO for all channels that have a
MIRT.MM_UMCODE = 1 OR 3

Meter Multiplier Check

2 part test
For channels 1 to 4
MIRT.MM_MULT must = MIRT.CT_RATIO(ch8 mm+ptratio) * MIRT.PT_RATIO(ch5
mm+ptratio)
Any mismatch results in a critical error

For remaining channels

MIRT.MM_MULT must = template.MM_MULT
Any mismatch results in a warning

Pulse Multiplier Check

– 3 part test. Any mismatch results in a critical error

1.) MIRT.MM_PMMULT must be = to each other for channels 1-4

2.) MIRT. MM_PMMULT must be the same for all channels that have a
MIRT.MM_UMCODE = 7

3.) MIRT. MM_PMMULT must be the same for all channels that have a
MIRT.MM_UMCODE = 10
