Protocols: Omni Modbus Protocol

Feature

Adds an option to the OMNI protocol to prevent DP and Pulses conflicts by automatically mapping the fields to the CFX file based on the meter type.  This new option is on the Archive Collection tab and labeled "Prevent DP and Pulse value conflicts". *Effect on published output: A new option to 'Prevent DP and Pulse conflicts' will change the EFM identifier of either the DP field or the Pulse field in periodic records. Each field retains its name (for database and CSV publishers), but only one has it's EFM identifier. This prevents two fields from going to the same shared output of CFX files when a custom map is used with both DP and Pulse fields in it.

This new option is on the Archive Collection tab and labeled "Skip report timestamp check". *Effect on published output: This update added a new option to skip the step of reading the timestamp registers for batch, prove, and daily reports in the OMNI protocol. Some old firmware doesn't have those registers. This can make published report files that use the report's timestamp information (in tokens as part of the file name, for example) use the current date and time instead of the report's date and time.
