5.8 Configuring non-cache parameters 
To configure non-cache parameters, perform the following steps. 
 
 
 
WARNING 
The non-cache capability bypasses the normal data-acquisition optimizations 
which are implemented by FIM. Configuring or monitoring the non-cache 
parameters can lead to performance degradation or visible anomalies 
Therefore, you must configure non-cache parameters under special 
circumstances recommended by Honeywell, Inc. or device vendors.
