Abstract:
A meter reader training apparatus includes a programmed microprocessor operable to sequentially display on a video display monitor or unit sets of rotary dials, each having the usual hour time marks, and may have a pointer located thereon to present output readings. The dials are presented in sets of 5 dials and the monitor is a black and white 3. A hand-held meter reader recording instrument is connected to the processor for inputting digits the trainee identified for numerical reading of each dial. The microprocessor compares the inserted digits with the actual digits. The processor has an output to the display unit and displays the proper number if an error is made. A printer is coupled to the processor to provide a printout of each executed sequence with a summary statement as to the length of a program, the errors created, the elapsed time and a presentation of each erroneous selected number with the correct digit adjacent the improper digit and the like, A complete route training system may include handling of field problems, such as special access, a broken meter or the like.
