Hello everyone,

Which protocol is that and in which field of that protocol? Sharing a capture with the info would help enormously, post it on a public share and amend your question with a link to it.

Hello, sorry for not sharing a pic, I've edited my post, the protocol is MMS from IEC 61850. Thanks

Apparently MMS floating point values come in several flavours and only one of them is dissected as a float, others just show the hex bytes as displayed in your picture.

However, it looks as if that field does fit the requirements to be dissected as a float, i.e. the first byte is 0x08 and there are 4 other bytes, what version of Wireshark are you using?

Again if you can provide the capture, rather than an image, this can be looked at in more detail, i.e. using a debugger.
