I think that the requested view doesn’t exist, but I think that I selected the correct folder and file in the interface table. So, what next?
https://ibb.co/Z1hqYqQSome websites automatically reverse the order and some give you choices. The FP converter allows me to select Intel Byte Order and then put the bytes in reverse order. But my device sends in reverse order.
However, that is all redundant now, as I have been able to adjust the tables to give me a decimal value directly in SCADA.View is opened but there is nothing to see.
I checked the Rights table, and the drop down menu has nothing to click on for Interface Object.

https://ibb.co/zGzVQKSI already wrote that I don’t understand the Rights tab.
I just tried to open SCADA administrator to take a snip of the window for Rights, and SCADA will not even open now.
I will have to uninstall and reinstall.
I wrote today about four errors I found in https://forum.rapidscada.org/?topic=connecting-devices-using-modbus-protocol
This program became unusable.Today I am quite certain that my Rapid SCADA program is seriously compromised. Nothing works.
Project PAC3200 has my real IP address in it as I put in, but it also has 127.0.0.1 in the server stats. https://ibb.co/RyfDBQv I didn’t put that in.
The older project Modbus test now has info from the PAC3200 project that was created later. https://ibb.co/4p8b7Gz
More errors https://ibb.co/RyfDBQv

I guess that I can reinstall and start over again. I did get to where I wanted to with getting a reading every hour, but it missed every second hour and then crashed.So many problems.
I found Roles, Users and Rights. I don’t understand Roles or Rights, but I edited the Users to Administrator in 2 cases.

I get a different error message, Server is unavailable, instead of I don’t have permission.I set the time to 17:00:00 and the period to 01:00:00. It started to give the result every hour, but the even numbered readings, (18,20,22) have a communication error. And today I discovered that the Line Log is not working past 23:00:00 Jan.31. I expected it to run continuously.

https://ibb.co/37ctcwLI think that setting the time will give me one reading at that time, but I need 4 daily weekdays at least. 7,11,17,19 And once a month I need readings on the weekend because it’s month end on my hydro bill. I think that using a period of 1 hour will cover my needs there.
As far as the formulas go, I get one reading of 4 two byte registers as I showed above in message 6453. I poll the 4 registers 802-805 with one request that is 12 bytes. The receive message is 7 and 10 bytes. So, the last 8 bytes out of the 10 is
41 6A 61 BD 78 64 40 98. When I type them into FP converter, I get the right answer in watt-hours, but the converter had to do 3 swaps. Swap bytes, swap words, and swap double words.
I haven’t gotten into it yet, but I believe that after the swapping, they are converted to binary, and then they can be deciphered into decimal using the floating point system.
So, I might be able to do that using Libre Office Calc if it becomes necessary.
https://ibb.co/mqQnDZ0I guess that there is no built-in 64 bit double precision conversion in Rapid SCADA.
It seems a daunting task to create my own.
I can get a reading every hour and see them in Line Log, but there is all of the other communication messages in the way.https://ibb.co/Yf7Kjm9

More success today.
I got the Line Log to work well by adjusting the Device Template to “double (8 bytes”.
Here is the Template snip. https://ibb.co/8N3g7nv
Now that Rapid SCADA communicates with the PAC3200 meter, I see that I get a Send command and a receive data that is 7 and 10 bytes. I can take the last 8 bytes and put them in a converter and get a decimal conversion in Wh.
I wish to get it to read and log once per hour and save it in a file that I can then convert to decimal, or convert to decimal first and save that once per hour.
Do I need to try out the Automatic Control Module to get what I want?I got through your video and succeeded to get the same results that you did.
However, I don’t see how to pick reading and writing times and how to save them to a log file.
I only need to read 4 registers 5 times a day.
Can I do that and have them recorded into a log?https://ibb.co/SVjQcc6

Imgur not working today.
I’m using ethernet to my router from the PAC3200.Okay, today most of those websites are now working at least on some browsers.
You were right, Mikhail.
