cerbo GX and ET340 as gridmeter , how to see values not only second by second, but by milliseconds ?

on manual of Cerbo GX it is said you can use ET340 as gridmeter, second by second.

But what and how to do this when you want milliseconds (just to see the peaks during startup of a machine) ?

Did you check the datasheet for the energy meter? In there it tells you that the data refresh time is 1 second. It is not adjustable to 1000 times faster than that. These devices are not designed for the sort of thing you want.

If you need to gather information at such a high sampling rate then you need to use an energy analyser which is designed for the purpose.
