Energy meter and S0 output

Energy meter and S0 output

Energy meter and S0 output

(OP)
Chipping on with that meter (thread238-266145: Energy meter with fast cycling load). Or, rather, those meters. I now have five meters to experiment with and my phototransistor energy impulse pick up (looking at the LED that blinks 1000 times for 1 kWh) gets a bit awkward. So I was thinking to use the S0 output. It works very well on one Swiss meter and one Danish meter, but the French ones speak a language that I cannot understand.

Danish and Swiss is simple, just a pulse that I can interpret, but 'meter French' is totally different - looks like some kind of good old RS232 that is transmitted every tenth second.

I have been looking for specs, but no luck.

Most of all, I would like to reconfigure the French meters so they also 'speak pulse'. Anyone knows if possible and if so, how to do it?
