    It’s easy on Aclara meters like the one I’ve got - it literally just auto-cycles between all the readings in sleep mode and pressing A lets you manually cycle between each of them. And any disabled ones do indeed still get listed - they just show as zeroes.

    … looking to move to economy 7 and need to be able to find the readings before I'm willing to make the move!
      

    If the meter is currently configured for single-rate, the second register is presumably not active, which would explain why you can’t find it. Have a look at a recent bill to find your MPAN (the grid with a big S and six boxes with numbers in them). What are the numbers in the top row, and the first one in the bottom row?
