Example Real-Time Editing Session

YOU WRITE:
## Connection Setup
Set up the connection parameters.

YOU ASK: "Expand this with detailed steps and examples"

I PROVIDE:
## 🔌 Connection Setup

### TCP/IP Configuration

1. **Navigate** to the Client tab
2. **Select Interface**: Choose "TCP" 
3. **Enter IP Address**: Your device IP (e.g., `192.168.1.100`)
4. **Set Port**: Use `502` (standard Modbus port)
5. **Configure Timeout**: Set to `3000ms` for reliable connection

!!! example "Sample Configuration"
    ```yaml
    IP Address: 192.168.1.100
    Port: 502
    Timeout: 3000ms
    Unit ID: 1
    ```

### Troubleshooting Connection Issues
- **Connection Refused**: Check device IP and port
- **Timeout**: Increase timeout value or check network
