The menu allows you to select from 110 to 400 volts in increments of
5 and 10 volts. It's 5 when you are near the standard (like 115, 225)voltage ranges,
but is 10 volt increments out of the standard range like 370-380-390-400. It's not a bad way to tweak it into cal..
I just wish I had a steady load to set it up with.

I'm not sure what the transmitter is doing when you change the transmit rate (6, 12 or 18 seconds).
Is that changing the sample rate?
Does the transmitter save usage data during the time between transmissions?
In case there were changes during the interval??

Edit:
Just got a reply back from Efergy ltd (in England)..
"The transmitter does not store information, it samples whatever the emf is
and passing through the current transformer at the second it TXs. "

So, I'll be using the 6 second sample rate for best accuracy. (Shorter battery life).
The next set of AA cells I use will be 2000 mAh Nimh cells.
