I don't know if this is the right place for 'wishlists', but if it is:

I'd prefer:
1 Stop using 'station' unless that's what the modbus spec uses - use 'slave address' or 'unit specifier'

  1. Default all 'stations' to off not on.
    Different contents for different stations would be nice. Failing that allow a 'per station offset +limit' so that multiple stations can be emulated in the single register list.

    Please review the "Help" text available by using the F1 key. Attached is an example of setting the stations to all off at startup for both serial and Ethernet options. Also, it shows how to set the registers to automatically load on startup.

    Regarding a seperate set of registers per station, this shows how to use the Advanced setting to select this and there is a good explanation in the Help available from the F1 key.
