Claim 0:
1. A gas meter control system, comprising:
a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), comprising:
a processor;
a memory device in communication with the processor; and
commands stored in the memory device, comprising:
first commands stored in the memory device and accessible by the processor to operate a first metrology device of a first gas meter; and
second commands stored in the memory device and accessible by the processor to operate a second metrology device of a second gas meter, wherein the second gas meter is configured to measure gas flows that are greater than can be measured by the first gas meter;
third commands to recognize which one, between the first metrology device and the second metrology device, is in communication with the processor, thereby recognizing an available metrology unit; and
fourth commands for selecting and executing only one of the first commands or the second commands, wherein the selecting is based on a type of the available metrology unit recognized by the third commands; and
a bus pass-through device, comprising:
connectors for a bus; and
a gas-tight seal to separate a gas-environment and an air-environment upon installation.
