1. A power meter comprising:
- (a) said power meter including an enclosure having an exterior;
(b) said power meter including a meter status observable from said exterior of said enclosure;
(c) said power meter including a settings status observable from said exterior of said enclosure;
(d) said power meter including a communications status observable from said exterior of said enclosure;
(e) said power meter including a phase status observable from said exterior of said enclosure;
(f) said power meter including a non-binary phase status observable from said exterior of said enclosure;
(g) said power meter including an input device that receives data in the form of data packets related to electrical characteristics of a least one load, where a data processor of said power meter determines (1) a baud rate based upon the frequency of data sampling by said power meter of said data packets among a plurality of predetermined baud rates, (2) a parity based upon bits of data sampling by said power meter of said data packets among a plurality of parities, and (3) a protocol based on cyclic redundancy bits of data sampling by said power meter of said data packets among a plurality of protocols of said received data.
