baud rate settings. To manually configure these settings, click the Specify PC com port

ditional: check box to activate the milliseconds text field and enter the number of addi-

tional milliseconds SmartSensor Manager should wait for a response from the sensor.

SmartSensor Network Protocol – These options can be used to identify sensors that
