register readings is:
•
Divide the raw reading by the scale value.
•
Select the first six digits to the left of the decimal point for a 6-digit register or the
first twelve digits to the left of the decimal point if working with a
Double Register
(12-digit register).
•
If necessary, add leading zeroes to the left of the number to produce either a 6-digit
scaled reading or a 12-digit scaled reading if working with a
Double Register
.

If you are working with a 6 or 12-digit register and the scaled reading is larger
than 6 or 12 digits respectively, the Bullhorn unit reports a register reading of

multiplier
value you
select on the website.
