15.1.3.5 Reading Inverse Format Registers

Some Modbus devices require reverse byte order words (CDAB vs. ABCD).

This can be true for either floating point, or integer formats. While other

CRBasic dataloggers, such as the CR1000, can use the MoveBytes() instruction

to output reverse byte order words, the CR200(X) does not have that capability.

If reverse byte order words are required, either the master has to make an

adjustment, which is sometimes possible, or the CR200(X) needs to replaced

with a datalogger that supports the MoveBytes() instruction.

15.1.4 Troubleshooting

Test Modbus functions on the CR200(X) with third party Modbus software.
