Abstract:
A method of interfacing a first flow signal and a second flow signal received from at least one flow meter register to provide a summed output signal representing a volumetric consumption quantity, the method comprising:inputting to an interfacing device enclosure a first input signal representing a first volume of flow and a second input signal representing a second volume of flow; within said interfacing device enclosure, summing the signal representing the first volume of flow through the first flow meter with the signal representing the second volume of flow; selecting a first ratio from at least two ratios between the first input signal and the second input signal, wherein said first ratio is utilized in summing the first input signal and the second input signal; outputting an output signal from the interfacing device which has been converted from the first input signal and the second input signal to a signal compatible with a meter data output device.
