  1. Hello Steve,
    I am new to Node Red & trying to get the data from a gas flow meter. The data type is Float. I have tried few methods by searching the Web, Youtube. Here is the json file of the Flow.
    The problem is I am not getting the correct value of as in the register of the Modbus contrib read.
    The 8 bit buffer from the read data matches the value of the flowmeter register. But when I convert the value is not matching. Please help.
    The correct value is 1242298282-32Bit UInt, 2293227 – Float.
    Please Weld gas Total
