Click the Font button to alter the appearance of text on the Meter label.
The meter's source, panel card, circuit type/subtype, and calculation method are displayed within this dialog box.
Depending on the type of calculation method used, the meter's current, voltage, and voltage drop readings are displayed. For the dB Loss method used in the diagram, the meter's wattage reading, 1.80 Watts, is displayed.
