Tiny™ is a runtime tool for installation, management, and maintenance operations, running on a laptop under Windows XP and developed under C++.

The software interfaces with the MDM central operation system for uploading installation work order programs and downloading hardware network configurations after installation.

The installation work order consists of location addresses and an installation route. The installing technician runs Tiny™ for creating an installation file with relevant data: meter serial number, hardware end point network address, meter input slots and meter reading data.

All installation data is downloaded back to the MDM central operation system and serves for network site configuration uploaded to the network units.

Tiny™ includes an additional application maintenance tool for hardware replacement and on site data reading.
