Who It's For

Who it’s for

Utilities with regulated in-service or periodic testing requirements
Utilities that follow best-practice sample programs, required or not
Metering managers who report yearly program progress
Utilities that use a third party for sample selection or testing

Problems it solves

Tracking the program through the year. An in-service sample management dashboard shows progress.
Chasing incomplete tests. A progress widget and an incomplete-test report show what is still open before year-end.
Testing more than you need to. A broader set of tests counts toward the program.
Failed lots and substitutions. Failed in-service lot tracking, with oversamples and alternatives.
Custom or outside programs. Custom sampling rules and third-party sample selection or test results.

Built on the WATT-Net Platform

The Sample and Periodic Testing Module is one of the WATT-Net modules. Like the others, it builds on the Database and Administration Module, which moves your data to a central SQL or Oracle database and adds user security. The base WATT-Net Software comes with RADIAN test systems at no license fee.

Module	What it adds
Database and Administration	The central database and user security every module needs
Meter Shop Operations	Day-to-day meter shop workflow
Inventory Management	Stock and location tracking for devices
Equipment Support	Repair, tampering, maintenance, and calibration tracking
Asset Lifecycle Management	Lifecycle tracking from purchase to retirement
Integrations	Data exchange with CIS, billing, and ERP systems

Sample and Periodic Testing FAQ

Which testing programs does the module manage?

Random, in-service, and periodic sample testing programs across your whole meter deployment.

Which sampling standards are included?

ANSI Z1.4 (sampling by attributes), ANSI Z1.9 (sampling by variables), and MILSPEC sampling protocols are built in, and custom sampling rules are supported.

How do we track progress during the year?

The in-service sample management dashboard and progress widget show yearly progress, and an incomplete-test report lists what is still open.

What happens when an in-service lot fails?

The module tracks failed in-service lots and manages oversamples and alternatives.

Can selected meters become work orders automatically?

Yes. With the Listener integration, the module can publish the year's selected samples and periodic tests as work orders in your work management system.
