Abstract: The pyrotechnic igniter simulator (1) has a detection element (5) that is able to detect at least one ignition pulse, a microcontroller (6) that is able to determine characteristics of the ignition pulse detected by the detection element (5) and to control an impedance block (7) depending on these characteristics, the microcontroller (6) being able to be configured remotely, and the impedance block (7) being able to be simulated at one of two different impedance values depending on these characteristics, one of the impedance values, referred to as the high value, simulating activation of the igniter in response to the detected ignition pulse, and the other impedance value, referred to as the low value, simulating non-activation of the igniter in response to the detected ignition pulse, the resulting simulator (1) being autonomous and especially proficient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling digital data transmission in a remote-reading apparatus including a plurality of metering devices, each equipped with a radiofrequency module for communicating with a radiofrequency transmission/reception device of a gateway system of the apparatus, the method comprising a step of transmitting a digital signal from the radiofrequency module to the radiofrequency transmission/reception device and/or from the radiofrequency transmission/reception device to the radiofrequency module, the transmission being carried out via a carrier modulated by frequency shift modulation, the method being characterized in that the frequency shift modulation has a modulation index strictly equal to an integer value divided by two, and in that it includes a step of receiving the signal transmitted according to the modulation, comprising operations of generation of a synchronization signal synchronized with the received signal and synchronous detection of the received signal using t

Abstract: A method of managing a software update of a plurality of remote-reading terminals to be updated in a remote-reading installation comprising a plurality of access points and a management server is disclosed, The method may include steps of transmitting a message for planning reception of the update data to said plurality of remote-reading terminals to be updated, selecting a set of access points from among said plurality of access points in such a way as to limit the number of access points used to disseminate said update data, and sending said update data through said selected set of access points.
