METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DEFINING METER DATA CALCULATIONS IN AN ELECTRONIC ELECTRICITY METER

摘要

The present invention, in one embodiment, is a method for defining meter data calculation in an electronic meter (100). The method includes steps of storing a set of predefined data calculation instructions in a non-volatile memory (120) of the meter; storing a first set of vectors in a memory (118) of the meter, the vectors pointing to data calculations of the set of predefined data calculation instructions; metering plurality of electrical quantities of power source; and controlling calculations performed on the metered electrical quantities in accordance with the data calculation instructions pointed to by the first stored set of vectors.
