Abstract
A system for programming a time-of-use meter register includes a portable programmer removably coupled to the register, a computer for compiling time-of-use rate schedules, and a computer interface device for removably connecting the computer and the portable programmer. An operator commands the computer to transmit a plurality of rate schedules from the computer over the computer interface device to the portable programmer where they are stored in RAM memory. Field personnel then optically couple the programmer to the register, and initiate a transfer of the rate schedule from programmer RAM to the register.
