Reporting current in milliAmps is not a good idea. This will lead to  
impractically large values, especially when we report them with two  
decimals resolution (10 microAmps). Even the laboratory measuring  
equipment that is standing right next to me now, doesn't offer this  
resolution in the range that is common for most UPS'es. I think you  
meant to write 'Ampere (A)' here and in that case, two decimals (10  
milliAmps) resolution is not too unreasonable.

Reporting outlet voltage with 10mV resolution is ridiculous. This  
would require an accuracy of better than 0.004% to have any meaning.  
This is at least two orders of magnitude better than the accuracy of  
any UPS that is on the market today. Even with *very* expensive  
measurement equipment, I doubt that reporting more than one decimal is  
justified. Basically the same goes for the power (W and VA), these  
shouldn't have any decimals at all.

Best regards, Arjen
