Additional Response Wait Time –

make a connection. Click the Use an additional: check box to activate the
milliseconds text eld and enter the number of additional milliseconds
SmartSensor Manager should wait for a response from the sensor.

sensors that are part of a multi-drop network. The Simple protocol option
refers to sensors that are not part of a multi-drop environment. If the
sensor is part of a multi-drop network, SmartSensor Manager can either
auto-detect the multi-drop ID, or you can enter the four-digit ID. Clicking
