(Supplement to the FieldServer Instruction Manual)

FS-8700-01 Modbus RTU

FS-8700-08 Modbus ASCII

There are several similarities between these two drivers and we have

incorporated them into the same manual to ensure that our information

stays current. Although both drivers are referenced in this manual, they are

different drivers and need to be ordered separately."
