Claim 0:
1. A meter electronics (20) for determining a decay characteristic of a meter assembly (10) of a flow meter (5), the meter electronics (20) comprising an interface (201) for receiving a vibrational response from a meter assembly (10), the vibrational response comprising a response to an excitation of the meter assembly (10) at a substantially resonant frequency, and a processing system (203) in communication with the interface (201), the processing system (203) being configured to:
receive the vibrational response from the interface (201);
determine a response voltage (V) of the vibrational response;
determine a decay characteristic (ζ) of the meter assembly (10) based on the response voltage (V); and
compensate the decay characteristic (ζ) by using a previously determined decay characteristic-to-response voltage relationship.
