The "Command Timeout:" in the Ethernet Peer-to-Peer Client Settings has a label of seconds (sec) when it should be milliseconds (ms) like the ACK Timeout.

Pretty minor issue, and it's clear from the documentation that the default can't be 250 sec (250,000 ms) because the max is 32,767 ms, but it confused me the first time I opened the settings, and it would be good to fix for correctness' sake. This is already correct in the Internal Ethernet menu.

More details:
Do-More Designer Version: 2.11.2.75 (Production)
Build environment: Windows 10 Enterprise (Build 26200) labeled "Windows 11"
Selected PLC Hardware Class: any with Built-in Ethernet (x-DM1E-x or DM-SIM)

How to find the menu:
Main DMD window in the top menubar: PLC → System Configuration (brings up a window)
System Configuration window, on the left: Configuration Entries → Device Configuration
System Configuration window, in the middle: Device Configuration: Device Name → @IntEthDMPPClient → double-click/click Edit Device button on the right (brings up a window)
Edit Do-more Ethernet Peer-to-Peer Client Settings: "Command Timeout:" (third from the top) default value "250" units "sec" should be "ms"

We'll get it fixed in the next version of DmDesigner. Thanks for pointing it out.
Good design costs a lot. Bad design costs even more.
