Addressing
By default, user-entered addresses have one subtracted
when frames are constructed to communicate with a
Modbus device. If the device does not follow this
convention, clear the checkbox to disable this parameter.

Fail After
Specify the number of times the terminal repeats the
communication request before the request is considered
a failed attempt, and the controller is in error.
