1. A method for correcting data signal errors in a meter, comprising:
- receiving ordered data signals from the meter;
analyzing the sequence of the ordered data signals to detect a missing signal; and
compensating for the missing data signal by adding a predetermined value to a sequence counter.

Abstract
A method for correcting data signal errors in a meter has been developed. The method includes receiving ordered data signals from the meter. Next, the sequenced of ordered data signals is analyzed to determine whether a data signal is missing. Finally, if a data signal is missing, a predetermined value is added to a sequence counter to compensate for the missing signal.
