How can I fix BACnet network timing errors/slowness?
The maximum number of the MSTP master should be set to the highest MAC address

present in the network. Max Master is a setting on the Communications tab of the

ViewPoint™ software.
What is the purpose of setting a scalar value?
Each Modbus register is only 16 bits wide and is in integer format without any fixed

number of decimal points. Simply putting a value directly into one of these registers

would limit the smallest number to 1, and only allow for a maximum value of 65535. To

handle larger numbers, or numbers with better resolution, we use a scalar value to

apply a factor in multiples of 10 to the 16 bit data register value.
How do I update the firmware in BACnet mode?
If you are not using a USB connection, the Power Meter must be in Modbus mode in

order to use ViewPoint to update the firmware (either through the software switch or

the rotary switches). See

Appendix E.
