Patent ID: 8047079

Claim:
A method for controlling an electronic manometer for measuring the pressure (P) inside a pressurized gas receptacle, the manometer comprising at least one pressure sensor, an electronic unit designed for the acquisition, storage and processing of data, and at least one information device capable of transmitting at least one item of information (P), the method comprising: at least one step of measuring the pressure (P) in the receptacle by the pressure sensor, a step of automatic modification of the operating mode of the manometer and/or the information (P) transmitted by the manometer in order to adapt the operating mode or the items of information (P) to the current operating state (A, B-C, D) of the receptacle from a plurality of predefined operating states (A, B-C, D), the operating states (A, B, C, D) being predefined by pre-established reference pressure-threshold values (S 1 to S 3 ), the operating states (A, B-C, D) being linked chronologically so as to form a chronological cycle, the modification step being carried out following the detection of a switchover from a first operating state (A, B-C, D) to a second operating state when the pressure values (P) measured during the first operating state and compared with the pre-established reference pressure-threshold values (S 1 to S 3 ) correspond to the second operating state and the second operating state is the next in the chronological cycle, wherein the predefined operating states (A, B-C, D) are chronologically linked according to a closed-loop chronological cycle, and in that the manometer is connected to the receptacle and is capable of measuring the pressure within the receptacle throughout the closed-loop chronological cycle.
