  • Input Firmware Address - When 'Input Firmware Address' and 'Firmware Address' have entries, the UserLimit will copy the value from the Input -> Firmware Address.

  • Double Copy - When 'Firmware Address' has an entry and the Data Type is Double, the 'Limit Value' will be copied into the 'Firmware Address' when the Limit Triggers.

  • Mask AND/OR - When 'Firmware Address' has an entry and the Data Type is Int32 or Mask32, the 'AND Mask' and 'OR Mask' will be applied to the 'Firmware Address'.
