Transfer of counter reading from one MP to other

Dear experts,

we have created measuring points as a counter to an equipment to record the hour meter reading (say 200 hrs reached).

Due to some fault the hour meter has replaced with new one and new hour meter starts from 0 (zero hrs).

Now what should a solution for my criteria

1) my data capture should be continuous (I should be able to record present data for new hour meter which starts from 0.00(zero hrs))

2)there should be a provision to assign old record(i.e 200 hrs (past) + 1 hr (present))

3)How the maintenance calls will get effect if the old measuring point has already assigned to a maintenance plan.

Shall I create a new measuring point if so how the above requirements will fulfill?

Thanks in advance for your valuable posts

Regards

SAICHANDRA
