VXU
You only need the VXU if you are reading the old Sensus 520R radios. This will phase out in the next 5 years or so. Sensus is releasing a patch November 20th, 2025 that will let the new Sensus FlexRead also be able to read the 520R. The 520R is a green dot on the AutoVu software. This requires a 9 pin serial to USB cable.
Antenna
You will need an antenna for each the VGB and the VXU
Loading The Flash Drive
You have to get the file from your billing software. Once this has been achieved you must bring it into AutoRead and put it on the stick. Once its loaded to the stick then give it your meter reader to load it in AutoVu.
