How can I fix BACnet network timing errors/slowness?
The maximum number of the MSTP master should be set to the highest MAC address present in the
network. Max Master is a setting on the Communications tab of the HeadStart software.
What is the purpose of setting a scalar value?
Each Modbus register is only 16 bits wide and is in integer format without any fixed number of decimal
points. Simply putting a value directly into one of these registers would limit the smallest number to 1,
and only allow for a maximum value of 65535. To handle larger numbers, or numbers with better
resolution, we use a scalar value to apply a factor in multiples of 10 to the 16 bit data register value.
