No inputs for export meter to csv

I am using OpenStudio v1.0.0, and I am trying to simulate a DOE reference building. I need hourly output data, so I used the Add Meter measure in OpenStudio and then Export Meter to CSV measure. However, when I run the simulation it fails and no csv file is output. The error is

Applying ExportMetertoCSV Result: Fail Error: Script argument 'meter_name' is required, but the user argument does not have a value or default value set.

From this, I guessed that the problem was that the name of the meter I added was not specified in Export Meter, but when I click to edit the Export Meter measure nothing appears under the inputs section. How do I fix this problem?
