Flow meter electronics are described for providing a flow rate of a
material flowing through a flow meter sensor of a Coriolis flow meter. The
flow meter electronics comprise a processing system and a single output
port. The processing system receives pick-off signals from the flow meter
sensor and processes the pick-off signals to determine the flow rate. The
processing system receives an instruction for a frequency output signal or
a digital communication protocol signal. If the instruction is for a
frequency output signal, then the processing system processes the flow
rate to generate a frequency output signal and transmits the frequency
output signal over the single output port. If the instruction is for a
digital communication protocol signal, then the processing system
processes the flow rate to generate a digital communication protocol
signal and transmits the digital communication protocol signal over the
single output port.
