Unfortunately no. I also stumbled over this sentence but I think they mean
the update rate of the current probe, i.e. they did measuer the supply
current 10 times per second.

Yes, about 50 or 80 (I don't remember the exact figure) since the W2SG0004i
was EOL and could easily be swapped. Unfortunately we don't have a mapping
to serial numbers.

That one unfortunately only allows to specify the reporting rate in
multiples of 1 second, i.e. up to 255 seconds. But not 1/10 sec.

Maybe someone knows a good technical contact to Wi2Wi?
I only have very indirect support though a distributor.
