Check against

Use Check Against to evaluate the meter using the original installation date or current installation date. The meter's original installation date is the date when the meter was installed the first time. Use this option to include all of the transactions for the meter since its initial installation date. This option gives you a comprehensive overview.

While the current installation date limits the data selection to transactions that have been created for the meter at the present service address. This option provides a limited overview.
