Hi DDSchrader
Good to hear that your problem has been resolved!
For calibration process and register setting details, this App note will guide you step-by-step. Calibration is for removing fixed system errors and making your measurements more accurate. Calibration also provides you co-efficients such as Wh/LSB, which can help you to convert register values to real-world quantities. The calibration register values will be different for different setups and hence I cannot provide you any defaults. It has to be calculated with your setup to get useful results.
However, if your aim is just to check communication and register results you can power up the chip, select the communication port, lock it (page 51 of RevB datasheet) and start reading/writing registers. Start by reading non-zero default registers to check if you are reading it correctly.
There is a FAQ App Note which will guide you through some basic metering stuff such as setting the voltage attenuation network ratio and current sensor circuitry, and much more.
