INTERMITTENT DROP DETECTING METHOD AND APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides an accurate method and apparatus for monitoring the drop flow rate from a fluid source. The method and appara- tus allows for an intermittent drop flow rate by accumulating a weighted drop period rate error factor which is adjusted for each drop period detected. A drop period window is adjusted by each drop period and is utilized to determine if the current drop period is within the window indicating a nor- mal operation. Drop periods outside the window cause a factor to be added to the accumulated error factor and drop periods within the window cause a factor to be subtracted from the accumu- lated error factor. This allows good periods to offset bad periods, so that minor fluctuations in the drop periods during normal operation can be ignored.
