Thanks for the response.
I can screen shot the channel configuration tomorrow. but I have gone through all of the settings within the modbus input multiple times just using trial and error with no success.
As far as the settings in the meter, it seems like it thinks that it is in decimal format already and will convert it into other formats erroneously.
Say the value is; 3A
When the the meter is set to decimal it reads: 30 (just making any letter 0)
If i change it to hex it converts 30 into hex so it would read: 1E
