4. Power Factor readings
Power factor engineering scales:

LO = -1.000.
If the raw data reading is 8900 then the power factor in engineering units will be as follows:
Power factor reading = 8900
×
(1.000 - (-1.000))/9999 + (-1.000) = 0.78
Decimal Scaling
Decimal pre-scaling can be used to accommodate fractional numbers to an integer register format.
Fractional numbers pre-multiplied by 10 in power N, where N is the number of digits in the fractional part.
For example, the frequency reading of 50.01 Hz is transmitted as 5001, having been pre-multiplied by 100.
Whenever a data register contains a fractional number, the register measurement unit is given with a
multiplier
×
0.1,
×
0.01 or
×
0.001, showing an actual register resolution (the weight of the least significant
decimal digit). To get an actual fractional number with specified precision, scale the register value with the
given multiplier. To write a fractional number into the register, divide the number by the given multiplier.
