| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Current operating meter by asset (hours) | 1200,850 |
| Meter at last service by asset (hours) | 1000,500 |
| User-specified service intervals (hours) | 250,300 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, operating hours since service is 200, 350. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
