ASEDLMS Test Set & DLMS Protocol Training Classes

Applied Systems Engineering (ASE) has been at the forefront of utility industry protocol technology and standards for over 40 years. Over the years, we have built immense knowledge and expertise in communication protocols and have built one of the most successful protocol test set products in the Utility Industry – the ASEDLMS. Our training programs are specifically for utility technicians and engineers who are working to resolve critical DLMS / Smart Meter communication issues. The programs mix essential protocol knowledge needed to understand and find communication problems together with in-depth training on the ASEDLMS.

Types of Training

Our online training is available in two formats 2 Day and 3 Day

  • 2 Full-Day Course – Full-day courses generally start at 9 AM and go on till 4 PM for both days. There is enough break time factored into the training.
  • 3 Half Day course – Half-day courses generally are for 4 -5 Hours with break-time included in between. Depending on the time zones, the course may start in the morning for Europe and Mid-noon or later for Asia.

Training Delivery

Training will be delivered using Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing and Screen Sharing. Our instructor generally reaches out a week ahead to coordinate and ensure that you are all set up for the training.

Course Materials & Training Certificate

Course materials will be shipped to you ahead of the course. For late signups, they may be shipped after the course is over. The training certificate will be mailed to your address once the training is complete.

Our Regional Training is organized in different cities around the United States from time to time. The training is a two-day training. The course details are given below. The training materials and certificates will be delivered by the instructor.
