Important Notes:
- Always confirm you're connected to the correct node before making changes
- Node number corresponds to specific inverters: 2=Traction, 5=Pump, 6=Steer
- After changing nodes, the console operates as if directly connected to that inverter
- Some parameters can only be changed on specific nodes
