N_SIGHT R900 User’s Manual for the Neptune Handheld System 2-1
2 Overview of the Neptune Handheld System
This chapter is designed to introduce you to the Neptune handheld
system handheld computer. It will explain how the handheld is
incorporated into the N_SIGHT R900 host software, and how it will be
used by both meter readers and operators. It will also help you become
familiar with the basic features and functions the handheld computer
offers.
Typical Meter Reading Process
By using the handheld computer in conjunction with N_SIGHT R900
software, the meter reading process has an effective tool in collecting
and distributing information that is critical to managing daily tasks.
Meter readers use the handheld to gather route information. Operators
use N_SIGHT R900 to collect route in
formation from the ha
ndheld and
to collect billing information from the billing computer. Once this
information is stored on an operator’s computer, called the host
computer, operators use N_SIGHT R900 to make route assignments and
to send updated information to the handheld and to the billing computer.
