The Smith Meter AccuMate is a Windows PC software tool that simplifies setup and maintenance of the Smith Meter AccuLoad III (including the .net versions). Uses include initial profiling of new AccuLoads, maintaining AccuLoad parameters, helping develop automation systems, entering Boolean/algebraic equations, entering translated text and configuring custom delivery reports. The bulletin states AccuMate is available for download from the Smith Meter literature website; this listing is for FMS help with obtaining, installing and using it.

How to specify / request support
To get help with AccuMate, send FMS:
AccuLoad model and firmware (AccuLoad III-S, III-Q, III-N4, Split Architecture, or .net version)
How the PC will connect (serial port and baud rate, or Ethernet / IP address) and the AccuLoad communication address and protocol
What you need: initial configuration, a parameter backup, card database setup, reports or translations
Bulletin notes: Rev 0.3 omitted the modeling section, so there is no part number or model code; system requirements still cite a 486 PC and Windows 95, which are long out of date (confirm compatibility of the current release with the factory); one feature mentions remote assistance of "AIIX operations" (likely an AccuLoad reference that is garbled); the text mixes "AccuLoad III" and "AccuLoad.net" for the same dialog; the download URL printed (info.smithmeter.com) may no longer be current. Related listings: SM-ALIII, SM-ALIII-N4, SM-ALIII-SA, SM-PCR.
AccuMate itself is factory software (the bulletin lists it as a download). Contact Flow Measurement Services for help obtaining the current version, AccuLoad configuration, or field support; any FMS service is quoted separately. Information summarized from Smith Meter bulletin SS06032 Rev 0.3 (9/13); confirm current data with the factory.
