The multiplier is a scaling factor used to convert the raw register values into more meaningful physical units, such as degrees Celsius, liters per minute, volts, etc. Since raw data from hardware devices often represents a range of numbers that are not directly in units we can easily understand, applying a multiplier ensures that the data can be interpreted in real-world terms.
