[Nut-upsuser] ABB UPS Powervalue 11RTG2 : blazer_usb: works /nutdrv_qx: iffy

Hi,

I just installed an ABB UPS Powervalue 11RT G2 1KVA. I'm using NUT version
2.8.0 on a RPI3 running ArchLinux.
# config
--snip--
[abb1kva]
    driver = "nutdrv_qx"
    port = "auto"
    vendorid = "0665"
    productid = "5161"
    bus = "001"
    desc = "ABB PowerValue G2 1KVA"
    runtimecal = 240,100,360,75,1200,50,1380,25
--snip--

I get the following output :

--snip--
[root at threepi01 nut]# upsdrvctl -u nut   -DDD start

If you're not a NUT core developer, chances are that you're told to enable
debugging
to see why a driver isn't working for you. We're sorry for the confusion,
but this is
the 'upsdrvctl' wrapper, not the driver you're interested in.

Below you'll find one or more lines starting with 'exec:' followed by an
absolute
path to the driver binary and some command line option. This is what the
driver
starts and you need to copy and paste that line and append the debug flags
to that
line (less the 'exec:' prefix).

Alternately, provide an additional '-d' (lower-case) parameter to
'upsdrvctl' to
pass its current debug level to the launched driver.

But with the blazer_usb.

Please note that this driver is deprecated and will not receive
new development. If it works for managing your devices - fine,
but if you are running it to try setting up a new device, please
consider the newer nutdrv_qx instead, which should handle all 'Qx'
protocol variants for NUT. (Please also report if your device works
with this driver, but nutdrv_qx would not actually support it with
any subdriver!)

Q: How can I get the new driver to display the correct outputs for ?
--snip--
battery.charge: 0
battery.voltage: 2.28
--snip--

Q: is it possible to fix the battery Voltage values as the reported voltage
"battery.voltage: 27.24":
is correct ( confirmed on the panel)

battery.voltage.high: 26.00
battery.voltage.low: 20.80

Q:  Do I have to upload a DDL to get the following output sorted.

From:
--snip--
ups.mfr:
ups.model: WPHVR1K0
--snip--

To:
--snip--
ups.mfr: ABB
ups.model:  Powervalue 11RT G2 1kva
--snip--

Q. What does "input.voltage.fault" mean ?

Thanks in advance,

Yogesh
