1. A revenue meter for measuring the delivery of electrical energy from an energy supplier to a consumer through an electric circuit, the revenue meter comprising:

  • bayonet terminals disposed on said meter, said terminals being mateable with matching jaws of a detachable meter mounting device;

    a base coupled with said bayonet terminals;

    at least one transducer operative to be coupled with said electric circuit and operative to sense at least one of voltage and current in said electric circuit and generate at least one analog signal indicative thereof;

    at least one analog to digital converter coupled with said at least one transducer and operative to convert said at least one analog signal to at least one digital sample;

    first logic coupled with said at least one analog to digital converter and operative to receive said at least one digital sample and compute at least one value therefrom;

    second logic coupled with said first logic and operative to generate first and second display data;

    a cover operative to be coupled with said base and operative to be sealed to said detachable meter mounting device to prevent physical access to said first logic;

    a display coupled with said second logic and operative to display one of said first display data and said second display data generated by said second logic; and

    a variable function input device coupled with said second logic and operative to receive a first input from a user and to cause said second logic to perform;

    a first function based on said first input when said first display data is displayed on said display and said first input is received; and
