Fast Poll mode allows the
RAVEn
™ to return almost real time data readings from the
smart meter; usually for when the User wants to see the effect of turning something on

Reading Calculations: readings are recorded as integers and are converted into decimal
number by using the multiplier and divisor. If the multiplier or divisor is zero then use a value of
one instead.
For example:
•
Reading: 123456

Multiplier: 2
•
Divisor: 10000
•
Result: 24.6912

can override these settings.
For example:
•
Reading: 12.3456
•
Digits Left: 3
•
Digits Right: 5
•
Suppress Leading Zeros: False
•
Formats as:
