1. A gas container equipped with a gas distribution valve comprising an electronic device for measuring gas autonomy, wherein:
the gas distribution valve comprises a flow selection means configured to allow a user to select a desired gas flow from among a plurality of selectable gas flows; and
the electronic device comprises:
at least one pressure sensor configured to measure the pressure of the gas contained in the container and to provide at least one pressure signal;
a signal processing means configured to determine a plurality of gas autonomies at least on the basis of the pressure signal provided by said at least one pressure sensor and the plurality of selectable gas flows;
a data display means configured to display an autonomy and a corresponding flow value; and
a digital activation selection component that can be activated by a user;
wherein the digital activation selection component is configured to cooperate with the signal processing means in order to successively display, on the data display means and in response to successive digital activations by the user of the digital activation selection component, the various selectable flow values and the various corresponding autonomies, each flow value being simultaneously displayed with a determined corresponding autonomy for said considered flow value.
