Now that is interesting! I was beginning to wonder whether the problem lay with not being able to decode negative DAC values, but I had no way of testing it. Clearly, as the data is processed correctly in other programs - and the monitor works in all other respects - that does rather point to a specific issue with DAC related sub-routines.

The only puzzle is that most of the monitors do work OK as far as I know - maybe somebody got different versions of the firmware confused - or is it something else?

Ages ago I sent the code for my first TSIP parser to someone (can't remember 
who...  was it Dieder?) who was going to use it in a microcontroller based 
tbolt monitor.  Fluke's monitor is just a lift of that design.  Well,  my code 
had a bug in the DAC message processor.  If I remember correctly it was 
something like reading the DAC value as a single precision number,  but the 
tbolt was sending a double precision number (or the other way around).
