Lock ACIA
Settings
Lock the ACIA settings in the M850 meter.
A few seconds after being connected to a live Modbus network, the meter will
configure itself to the networks settings. i.e. baud rate, parity, stop
bits.
If the meter detects 5 consecutive framing errors, it will start to search using
different parity settings until the errors stop.
If the meter detects
5 consecutive CRC errors, it will start to search using different baud rate
settings until the errors stop.
To prevent unnecessary hunting the settings can be locked into the EEPROM and
will always be used unless they are unlocked again.
