Running a simple modbus program;
import time
import minimalmodbus
minimalmodbus.BAUDRATE = 9600 #changed to suit snapper+ default
slave = minimalmodbus.Instrument('/dev/ttyUSB0', 1) # port name, slave address (in decimal)
slave.serial.timeout = 0.1 # doubled from the default 0.05s
slave.debug = True
try:
for x in range(207, 210):
print x, slave.read_register(x, 1)
time.sleep(.1)
except IOError:
print("no modbus response")
it outputs;

I don't understand why minimal modbus is dividing by 10? Easy enough to fix I guess, just multiply by 10, but curious as to why the default interpretation is that stuff in the registers has been multiplied by 10 already?
