system.mes.meter.enums.getMeterCostSourceEnum

Description

Retrieves the values of the MeterCostSource enum. MeterCostSource defines how the cost per unit of measure is determined for a Meter Configuration. This is useful for populating selection inputs (such as dropdowns) or for validating a cost source value before setting it on a Meter Configuration.

Syntax

system.mes.meter.enums.getMeterCostSourceEnum()

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Description
None	-	-	This method does not take any parameters.

Returns

Returns a list of MeterCostSource enum values. Each value exposes name() (the constant name, used when setting a Meter Configuration's cost source) and toString() (the human-readable display name):

Name	Display Name	Description
STATIC	Static	A fixed cost value stored directly on the Meter Configuration.
FROM_METER_TYPE	From Meter Type	The cost is inherited from the associated Meter Type.
EXPRESSION	Expression	The cost is evaluated at runtime from an Ignition expression on the Meter Configuration.

Code Examples

# Retrieve the MeterCostSource enum values
costSources = system.mes.meter.enums.getMeterCostSourceEnum()

# Print the constant name and display name of each value
for costSource in costSources:
    print(costSource.name() + " - " + costSource.toString())

# Example output:
# STATIC - Static
# FROM_METER_TYPE - From Meter Type
# EXPRESSION - Expression
