If the floating point type mapped register used to read then the user don’t need to do any conversion. The register itself has the engineering value. If the integer type register is used then the user needs to do the conversion as per the below to convert the raw value to engineering value.

The register value can be converted to math channel actual value by using the below conversion. Math value = (((Register value * (ScaleHi - ScaleLo)) / 4294967295) + ScaleLo) = ((3092376452*(90-10))/4294967295)+10) = ((3092376452*80)/ 4294967295)+10...
