In the world of industrial automation, Modbus Poll is a legendary tool. It is the "Swiss Army knife" for engineers testing and troubleshooting Modbus RTU or TCP networks. While the software interface appears simple—a grid of addresses and values—the true power of efficient data analysis lies in one often-overlooked feature: The Register Key .

Address : Name : Scale/Format

If you have ever scrolled through hundreds of raw register values looking for a specific temperature or pressure reading, you know the pain. The Register Key is your solution. In simple terms, a Register Key (often found under Display > Communication... or as a .key file) is a translation table. It converts raw, anonymous register numbers into human-readable engineering values with proper labels, scales, and units.
