OVERVIEW FEATURES OPTIONS SPECIFICATIONS
Harnessing the power of your WECO testboard has never been easier thanks to the latest version of our state-of-the-art Winboard™ software. Whether you're using a versatile Model 2350, characterizing meters on our Model 2300, or testing in the field with a portable Model 3010, Winboard™ makes testing easy and accurate.

Winboard™ is loaded with features to make complex testing tasks simple. Helpful software "Wizards" walk you through even the most difficult procedures like demand and standards compare testing. Test sequences are easy to select, and each is color-coded so you don't have to struggle visually to separate series and element results. Similarly, simple menu selection takes the guesswork out of picking the right service type. All of this is built on a common user interface that is easy to learn and use, no matter which model WECO testboard you are operating.

Along with its ease of use, Winboard™ offers loads of customizable productivity enhancing features. Test five times as many meters every hour with WECO’s Turbo Test™ technology‡. With Winboard™'s unique file/graph testing you're in complete control of all test parameters such as; voltage phase angles, current imbalances, phase angle imbalances, and frequencies*. With the test time feature, you can specify the length of the test in seconds and let the software compute the required number of test revolutions. The Hyper Sequence™ feature gives you full control over test energy direction, limits, service type, voltage, amps, phase angle, and standard mode. Winboard™ is so flexible it even allows you to customize your own test types, meter forms, and data exports.

Winboard™ has been designed to fit smoothly into any testing environment. "AEP" and custom barcode support makes entering meter information effortless and errorless. Control up to six different testboards at the same time, each color-coded to show its current state. You can even set different as-found and as-left limits. A multi-tiered security system lets you define a security structure as tight or loose as needed.

The whole package is backed by our dedicated customer service team. Whether you’re a single shop or a network of companies, rest assured that WECO will be ready to assist with any aspect of implementing or operating your Winboard Software. Phone support, Internet updates, and free bug fixes for life mean that Winboard is software you can count on.

FEATURES

EASY TO LEARN AND USE
With Winboard™ you can easily load and test a meter. Predefined forms make selecting the type of meter easy, or you can create your own custom meter forms. KWH, Demand, and Standards Compare tests are easy to access, change, and run. By using the File/Graph and Hyper Sequence features you can run custom load curve and meter qualifying tests. These results can then be exported to generate detailed reports. This is particularly useful for new meter evaluation, long running problem meter analysis, and duplicating field conditions

VERSATILE TESTING OPTIONS
Winboard's™ powerful Hyper Sequencing feature allows you to set up, run, and save a virtually unlimited number of tests on a meter, in any quadrant (Watt, VAR, Forward, or Reverse depending on your testboard’s capabilities) with a single test sequence. This feature is popular for substation and InterTie testing, co-generation metering testing, acceptance lab testing, and for meter manufacturer pre-production and sample testing.

TURBO TEST™ OPTION
WECO has worked hand-in-hand with the industry’s leading meter manufacturers to bring you Turbo Test™ technology. Slash the amount of time it takes to test a supported meter on either WECO’s 2300 or 2350 three-phase testboards to nearly one-fifth of regular testing time. Convenient software “Wizards” make setting up and running a Turbo Test™ as easy as it is fast. Save your shop valuable time and money with WECO’s Turbo Test™ option.

CUSTOMIZABLE SECURITY OPTIONS
Winboard™ allows you to customize security settings that meet your specific needs. The software allows you to assign users to particular groups, each of which has access to the commands and functions that you specify. Access to sensitive information, such as % Error Tables, can be assigned to only the user or users that you want. You can determine what information is required for users to log onto the Winboard™ system. Choose from simple user ID logins to extremely secure password protected security options.

STREAMLINED INPUT AND OUTPUT
By using Winboard's™ versatile data management features you can cut the time required to test a meter and effectively organize the results. Attach an optional barcode scanner to quickly read form numbers and customer information. When testing is done, you can export the meter information, customer information, and test results over WATT-Net™ to a central PC where the data can be managed and sorted. Furthermore, you can export test results to a database or spreadsheet program.

CREATE CUSTOM FORMS
Use Testboard Utilities to create new meter form numbers, form connections, and relationship phases, as well as editing system presets. You can also use Testboard Utilities to edit test types to meet you exact needs.

HELP IS JUST A CLICK AWAY
Winboard™ includes Software Wizards that allow the user to easily set up and begin using many features such as demand and standards compare, as well as a file test builder. Easy to access on-line help makes learning and navigating the software simple by offering detailed information on all of Winboard's™ key commands, security features, test parameters, and system defaults.
