What is the difference between Measuring Point and Counter? Measuring Point : Measuring points are used to record discontinuous quantities/ value. For example- Condition of silica gel of transformer. Measuring points in the SAP System describe the physical locations at which a condition is described, (for example, Temperature and Pressure on a Boiler). The characteristics associated with the measuring points which record the value can only be numeric characteristic. Measuring points are located on technical objects, in other words, on pieces of equipment or functional locations. For every measuring point there should be some characteristics to measure the reading. To enable you to differentiate more easily between the individual measuring points and provide them with a unit, you assign each measuring point to a characteristic. The parameters like Running Hours, Temperature, Pressure
etc, on equipments can also be mapped under measuring point.
Counter: Measuring counter are used to record continuous changing quantities/ parameters. For example, Meter reading of an automobile. A type of measuring point, where a continuous reading is recorded (e.g. Milometer). In case the measuring point is a counter, it needs to be defined likewise. Counter readings are taken at counters at particular intervals and in particular measurement units. For example, counter readings for kilometers driven or electricity used.
