Advanced Parameters
Advanced parameters are used to control the message size for the protocol. Control over
message length is needed when writing large amounts of data over certain communication
networks. A larger value can improve communication speed but can increase the number of
failed transmissions. A smaller value can reduce the number of failed transmissions but may
reduce throughput. When the Advanced tab heading is clicked the Advanced dialog is
opened as shown below.
