P241: Sign Justification
Selects whether the polarity sign will appear right justified (to the
immediate left of the most significant digit) or left justified (in the left-most
position of the data field) when transmitted.
For example, assuming a minimum transmit width of 8 specified at P240,
the number –10.25 would be transmitted as
-10.25
with left justification, and
-
10.25
with right justification.
Note that with right justification, the left-most space or padded zero (0) will
be replaced with the polarity sign. Thus if you wish to maintain space for
eight digits in the data field, you must specify a minimum transmit width of
nine (9).

ETWORKING
The networking parameters configure an indicator's network address.
Remote communication parameters configure communication to a remote
display, other indicators used in the remote display mode and other
devices requesting display information.
P250: Network Enable
Enables network addressing and makes P251 available for configuration
provided P205 is not set for Modbus.
P251: Network Address
Assigns the network address for the indicator. Note that the network
address is assigned as a single ASCII byte value. An entry of '4' does not
refer to the actual number four (4), rather it is and ASCII '4' or an <EOT>
control code. If you want the indicator's address to be the number four (4),
you would have to enter the address as 52 (the ASCII value of 4). Refer to
Appendix B for a list of ASCII character values.
P290: Echo Display
Selects the communication port# to be used to echo the displayed data to
a remote indicator or other serial device. Once a port is chosen, display
data will begin echoing immediately without requiring you to save changes
and exit the setup mode.
P291: Echo Start Character
Assigns the start character that signifies the beginning of echoed display
data.
P292: Echo End Character
Assigns the end character that signifies the ending of echoed display data.
