What’s New in BEACON: Compound Meter Billing Read Export Enhancement

The new Sync Registers feature lets utilities get synchronized billing reads for each register on a compound meter. Typically, endpoint communication times are staggered to optimize network performance. For some utilities, such staggered read times from the high and low sides of a compound meter required special handling where billing was concerned. The Sync Registers feature and new Export Data Service v1/eds/read and v2/eds/read sync registers parameters ensure that billing reads for registers on compound meters are taken on the same date and time. For details on how to use the feature, see BEACON Help.
