Abstract
A flow rate measuring member configured to measure a flow rate of a gas, a storage configured to store a plurality of pieces of predetermined data, except for a meter read value, of a plurality of pieces of data each of which is calculated based on the flow rate measured by the flow rate measuring member, and a communicator configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of predetermined data stored in the storage to an external device are provided. The storage starts sequentially storing the plurality of pieces of predetermined data in response to an occurrence of a predetermined event, and the communicator transmits, at a predetermined timing, the plurality of pieces of predetermined data stored in the storage to the external device.
Claims1
A gas meter comprising:
- a flow rate measuring member configured to measure a flow rate of a gas;
- a sensor member including a sensor configured to measure at least one of vibration, temperature, or pressure;
- a storage configured to store a plurality of pieces of predetermined data of a plurality of pieces of data measured by the sensor member;
- a condition setting member;
- and
- a communicator configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of predetermined data stored in the storage to an external device,
- the storage starting sequentially storing the plurality of pieces of predetermined data in response to an occurrence of a predetermined event set by the condition setting member,
- the communicator transmitting, at a predetermined timing set by the condition setting member, the plurality of pieces of predetermined data stored in the storage to the external device,
- the condition setting member being configured to set, for each of a plurality of events in response to which storing of the plurality of pieces of predetermined data is started,
- a type of the plurality of pieces of predetermined data to be stored in the storage,
- a cycle of storing the plurality of pieces of predetermined data in the storage,
- a condition for ending storing the plurality of pieces of predetermined data in the storage, and
- a transmission timing for transmission of the plurality of pieces of predetermined data stored in the storage to the external device.
