Meter register with programming and data port and meter input resolution factor

A meter register for generating pulses in response to units of flow in a water meter, the meter register comprising:

• a microelectronic CPU for executing a stored control program to read in pulses and output data representing units of flow volume;
• an electronic visual display responsive to output data transmitted from the CPU for indicating units of flow volume;
• and
• a magnetically responsive switch electrically connected to the CPU and positioned for response to movement of an external magnet that is moved over a top of the meter register, to cause the CPU to display a sequence of screen displays, on the electronic visual display.

A meter register for generating pulses representing units of flow in a water meter, the meter register comprising:

• a stored control program;
• a microelectronic CPU for executing the stored control program to read in pulses and transmit output data representing units of flow volume;
• an output device responsive to output data transmitted from the CPU for indicating units of flow volume;
• and
• a data port in electrical communication with the microelectronic CPU for communicating programming data to the microelectronic CPU and for transmitting output data representing units of flow volume from the CPU,
• wherein said microelectronic CPU processes a programmable meter input resolution factor as data from an external device for a corresponding one of several meters by which the output signals that are transmitted to said output device are based on an absolute amount of flow per input signal according to a size of a corresponding one of a plurality of meters.
