ELECTRONIC ELECTRICITY METER INCLUDING FLASH MEMORY

摘要

The present invention, in one embodiment, is method for operating an electronic electric meter (100) having current (104) and voltage (106) senso rs configured to generate measurements of current and voltage, respectively; a microcomputer (114) coupled to the current and voltage sensors and configure d to control operation of said meter (100); a flash memory (118) coupled to sa id microcomputer (114) and configured to store configuration and metering data. The method includes steps of: mapping requests for data to a physical locati on of the flash memory (118); organizing the flash memory into logical blocks treated as atomic data units (ADU); and separately managing the ADUs.
