8.3 The Command Editor

8.3.1 General

The Command Editor is used to define new commands and edit existing ones. This makes it possible
to build a library of commands, which can be stored and reused at a later stage.
Note that the Command Editor is somewhat protocol-dependent in the sense that certain frame objects
may not be deleted or altered.
The examples in this section use Master Mode. The procedures involved are similar in Generic Data
Mode, but without the limitations imposed by the Modbus RTU protocol.

8.3.2 Basic Navigation

menu.
