The first concept of standardization in Elipse Water relates to types of Analog Measurements. A Measurement type is understood as different measurements in an application, such as Flow, Pressure, or Speed of a Pump, among others. A Measurement type may concatenate the sampled physical quantity with a meter's location.

By using the concept of Measurement standards, users reuse the unit configuration of a sampled quantity, such as "l/s", "l/min", "m³/s", or "m³/h" a Measurement description, such as "Flow". With it, when users instantiate a Measurement in an application, such as  "Position of a Valve", this Measurement must only point to that standard to receive the configuration adopted by the related standard. This way, if users want, for example, change a Measurement description, just change the respective standard so that all Measurements automatically referencing that standard are updated.

Some standards are available in Elipse Water installer and do not allow changing their names and acronyms. These Elipse Water native templates have a reserved prefix "*" and cannot be removed from the list of standards. Some of these Measurements with an "*" prefix can be used by specific algorithms available in Elipse Water, such as the Topology Processor Hydraulic Study, or by Elipse Water's Screen objects library, and therefore they were defined as native. The next figure shows the Analog tab, to create and edit Analog Measurement standards.
