Well I am finished now. I was successfully able to get the unit to convert the byte to a float value which I can confirm and makes sense.
Thank you all so very much for progress and promptness the whole way through. Our project isn't fully complete but this portion is ready for integration in my perspective.
Thank you again. Especially Shelleycat for all your coding (I dont have any idea how long those took to write up) but it all really helped me progress and learn what I needed to do along the way.
