User_Byte1 can be displayed on the LCD on the OI by pressing the select button until you see a 'u' before the numbers. All 6 of them can be seen on the Dashboard.
The default code stores the last breaker tripped in User_Byte1 (only works if you plug the breaker panel into the RC). Any 8-bit value can be stored in any of the User_Bytes. I use two of them to send out one pot value. I store the top 8 bits in one User_Byte and the last two bits in another.
I'll see you guys at Drexel. If you need any more help do hesitate to ask MOE. I'm sure you can find us (we are the green people under the giant Tower of MOEdor
)
