Lead Measurement

4x Lead Resistance Measurement: Bits 1-2

This applies only when the module interfaces 3 wire RTDs. These two bits determine how frequently the
module will measure the RTD lead wire resistance. It is unlikely lead resistance will change much over time.
Reading the lead resistance effectively doubles the update time for RTD measurements
