Another bug in the Kunkin documentation.

Try downloading http://lygte-info.dk/pic/Projects/TestController/TestController.jar and replace you TC jar file with it. Verify it is version 1.72 (It may take up to an hour before you can download it).

Then try the command again and if it works better try:
holdingL? 0x0300 8 /1000

Voltage and current match. No capacity.

Can you figure out what bytes contains the capacity and the divisor needed. I have from the manual:

I only have special handling for the 0x300 address now, but I will take a look at this. It requires a bit more programming because I have to support multiple scale factors for one message.

[HKJ]

I have added handling of 0x301 address, but not different division factors.
The jar file is as same address as before, please check if I correctly return As and Ws

I missed you was using "holding?", i.e. without the L. If you try
holding? 0x0301 /1000

You will hopefully get the long answer, but with a Rx timeout because my special handling is in the holdingL? code.

I have uploaded a new version (1.74) where the 0x301 handling is in the holding? code.
I have also starting working on multiple divisors, but I have not tested any of it. If it works you can do:
holding? 0x0301 /1000 /1000 /3600000 /3600000

Ok, I uploaded V1.75 it contains the code on both holding? and holdingl?
And the untested code for multiple factors.

Are you sure you have the correct version of TC, only 1.74 & 1.75 has the code.
Also check the dos window for errors.

[PaWill68]

Sorry, I can't download 1.75. 1.73 is downloaded.

There are several questions about the interface.

[PaWill68]

When I load the table data (LOAD button), the values of all fields are reset to two decimal places. Although in the settings on the "Scales for chart" tab, "Decimals" equal to 3 is set for these columns.
The same goes for "Import".

[HKJ]

Now I would very much like to know if this message exist on all versions of the load or only on the newest.

For people with the load please download the test jar and replace you original jar with it: http://lygte-info.dk/pic/Projects/TestController/TestController.jar

Then try this command to the load:
holdingL? 0x0301 8 /1000 /1000 /3600000 /3600000

Post what driver you use: Kunkin KP184 or Kunkin KP184 V4 and what version software you load uses.

If I do not get any answers I will assume this works on all versions of the KP184 and update the definition.

Generally TC is supposed to match based on column names, i.e. a column called KP184.Voltage will look for a driver with handle KP184 and column Voltage and use the definition for that. If no match is found they revert to two decimal places.
If you have a csv file with the correct column names that do not work I want a copy of it and will check why it fails.

You can use #valueformat from a script if you want to repeatedly change the same columns.

[HKJ]

A new definition for KP184, this will only work with V1.75 and newer of TC

When selection the load "Kunkin KP184 V4+" it will add Ah and Wh to the columns.

Note: Nothing has been tested.
