METROLOGY WITH UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) CONNECTION

摘要

Data communication may be accomplished between a utility meter and a peripheral device via a universal serial bus (USB) connection and a USB protocol. The meter may include metrology components arranged to measure utility consumption at a site. The meter may further include components for providing the data communication with the peripheral via the universal serial bus (USB) connection and a USB protocol. In an implementation, the meter provides electrical isolation between the data communication components and the metrology components.
