Audit and Certification Traceability
Now when a problem is detected with a testing operation, the WATT-Net Express traceability functionality can assess the risk and determine what is needed to correct the damage. For example, if it is detected that the shop has been program-ming devices with the wrong configuration for 3 days, WATT-Net Express can quickly locate those devices and set a system hold flag so they cannot be installed on the system. It also allows attachment of an electronic Sticky Note to all affected devices to Return to Shop.

WATT-Net Express Advanced Features:
True Device Configuration Management
True device configuration management integration is needed for the utility enterprise. Piecing information from specific traditional utility departmental software packages is not effective reliable man-agement.
WATT-Net Express is the first software providing comprehensive firmware version and test tracking for all AMI
device configurations. WNE documents meter configuration as soon as it is entered into the system through its full life cycle of multiple firmware, software architecture changes,
and test cycles. Any device configuration can be tested and verified with full test details captured for future reference with the WECO 4000 series test equipment. WATT-Net Express is the first software

Advanced AMI Testing and Configuration Functionality
Legacy meter record systems were not designed to support the extended testing functionality of AMI Devices. As a work-around, utilities have been forced to use the conventional accuracy test points of Full Load, Light Load, and Power Factor for devices that require extended test functionality.
WNE is the first meter test automation system to address full AMI configuration and test procedures. Using the WECO patented Dynamic Sequence and Test Processing, it is now possible to configure a device to meet specific AMI metering requirements and verify the configuration under those test conditions by using WECO’s 4000 series test equipment. WNE supports all 4000 series test functionality, providing detailed history of any test requirements needed.
WNE can capture any conventional KWH Test, as well as Demand Test, 4 Quadrant Test, Harmonic Test Accuracy, or Disconnect Test configurations under load. WNE will then archive these test details for future reference as a part of the device history and can share part or all of this information with other systems.
Premise and Site Management Online
For years utilities have managed commercial, industrial, and substation accounts on spreadsheets. WNE now offers a solution to provide the functionality to support metering scenarios by tracking the configuration, site, and circuit associations of complex billing devices including: Meters, CT, PT, Demand Recorders, Totalizers, Transducers, and Transfer
Stan-dards. WNE provides a suite of new management tools and functionalities specifically designed to help ensure proper metering of important accounts.

WATT-Net Meter Shop Customizable Management Capabilities
From the meter shop to the field, WNE is feature rich with customization options for everyone along the path. Among the constantly expanding feature list are Sticky Notes, Mul-timedia Functionality, and the Management Dashboard in-cluding the helpful Dashboard Widgets Manager.
The WNE Sticky Note is an electronic alert which can be as-signed to any device for downstream processing, providing specific tidbits of information regarding a device, over a cer-tain period of time. This allows users to retrieve the tidbits for future reference. When the device arrives at another test
station or returns from the field, a Sticky Note can convey useful information to the next person in the custody chain. Another convenient feature WNE provides is full multimedia support with the ability for any device, site or circuit identifier to link documents and photos to the item.
