Communications Tester

An Itron software tool that, in conjunction with a Field Service Unit (FSU), is used for field and lab testing of devices equipped with Itron NICs that communicate across the mesh network. Communications Tester enables engineers and technicians to transmit and receive messages to and from these devices, log the data, and analyze the results. For example, operators can perform register reads, firmware upgrades, and they can read meter tables, check configuration options, collect radio frequency statistics data, and exercise other troubleshooting features.

Communications Tester also supports user-created compound commands, session logging, and results export.
