This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

  • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 5253).
  • Bus address: The slot number of the card you want to connect to.

How to use

The connector is read-only at the moment, so every parameter you see can be monitored. Each page contains parameters or tables related to a specific aspect of the card.
