Enabling Floating-point Registers
For each register in integer format, the meter includes a duplicate set
of registers in floating-point format. For an abbreviated list of
floating-point registers, see Table A–7 on page 181. The floating
point registers are disabled by default, but they can be turned ON by
doing the following:
NOTE: See “Read and Write Registers” on page 36 for instructions
on how to read and write registers.
1. Read register 11700 (Current Phase A in floating-point format). If
floating-point registers are OFF, you will see -32,768.
2. Write command code 9020 to register 8000.
3. Write 1 in register 3248.
4. Write 1 to register 8001.
5. Write command code 9021 to register 8000.
6. Read register 11700. You will see a value other than -32,768,
which indicates floating-point registers are ON.
NOTE: Values such as current phase A are not shown in
floating-point format on the display even though floating-point
registers are ON. To view floating-point values, read the floating-point
registers using the display or WinPM.Net.
