feat: Add comprehensive NL-43/NL-53 Communication Guide and command references

- Introduced a new communication guide detailing protocol basics, transport modes, and a quick startup checklist. - Added a detailed list of commands with their functions and usage for NL-43/NL-53 devices. - Created a verified quick reference for command formats to prevent common mistakes. - Implemented an improvements document outlining critical fixes, security enhancements, reliability upgrades, and code quality improvements for the SLMM project. - Enhanced the frontend with a new button to retrieve all device settings, along with corresponding JavaScript functionality. - Added a test script for the new settings retrieval API endpoint to demonstrate its usage and validate functionality.

+# Feature Summary: Device Settings Verification
+
+## What Was Added
+
+A new API endpoint that retrieves all current device settings in a single request, allowing users to quickly verify the NL43/NL53 configuration before starting measurements.
+
+## New Endpoint
+
+**`GET /api/nl43/{unit_id}/settings`**
+
+Returns comprehensive device configuration including:
+- Measurement state and weighting settings
+- Timing and interval configuration
+- Battery level and device clock
+- Sleep mode and FTP status
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### 1. [app/routers.py](app/routers.py)
+**Lines:** 728-761
+
+Added new route handler `get_all_settings()` that:
+- Validates device configuration exists
+- Checks TCP communication is enabled
+- Calls `NL43Client.get_all_settings()`
+- Returns formatted JSON response with all settings
+- Handles connection errors, timeouts, and exceptions
+
+### 2. [README.md](README.md)
+**Updated sections:**
+- Line 134: Added new endpoint to Measurement Settings table
+- Lines 259-283: Added usage example showing how to verify device settings
+
+## Files Created
+
+### 1. [test_settings_endpoint.py](test_settings_endpoint.py)
+Test/demonstration script showing:
+- How to use the `get_all_settings()` method
+- Example API endpoint usage with curl
+- Expected response format
+
+### 2. [SETTINGS_ENDPOINT.md](SETTINGS_ENDPOINT.md)
+Comprehensive documentation including:
+- Detailed endpoint description
+- Complete list of settings retrieved
+- Usage examples in bash, Python, and JavaScript
+- Performance considerations
+- Best practices and troubleshooting
+
+### 3. [FEATURE_SUMMARY.md](FEATURE_SUMMARY.md)
+This file - summary of changes for reference
+
+## Existing Functionality Used
+
+The implementation leverages the existing `get_all_settings()` method in [app/services.py](app/services.py#L538) which was already implemented but not exposed via the API. This method queries multiple device settings and handles errors gracefully.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **User makes GET request** to `/api/nl43/{unit_id}/settings`
+2. **Router validates** device configuration exists and TCP is enabled
+3. **NL43Client queries device** for each setting sequentially (with 1-second delays)
+4. **Individual errors** are caught and returned as error strings
+5. **Response returned** with all settings in JSON format
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```bash
+# Quick verification before measurement
+curl http://localhost:8100/api/nl43/NL43-001/settings
+
+# Response:
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "unit_id": "NL43-001",
+  "settings": {
+    "measurement_state": "Stop",
+    "frequency_weighting": "A",
+    "time_weighting": "F",
+    "measurement_time": "00:01:00",
+    "leq_interval": "1s",
+    "lp_interval": "125ms",
+    "index_number": "0",
+    "battery_level": "100%",
+    "clock": "2025/12/24,20:45:30",
+    "sleep_mode": "Off",
+    "ftp_status": "On"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Single request** - Get all settings at once instead of multiple API calls
+2. **Pre-flight checks** - Verify configuration before starting measurements
+3. **Documentation** - Easy to save configuration snapshots for audit trails
+4. **Troubleshooting** - Quickly identify misconfigured settings
+5. **Multi-device** - Compare settings across multiple devices
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- **Query time:** ~10-15 seconds (due to required 1-second delays between commands)
+- **Rate limiting:** Automatically enforced by NL43Client
+- **Error handling:** Partial failures don't prevent other settings from being retrieved
+- **Caching recommended:** Settings don't change frequently, cache for 5-10 minutes
+
+## Testing
+
+To test the new endpoint:
+
+1. **Start the server:**
+   ```bash
+   uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8100
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure a device** (if not already configured):
+   ```bash
+   curl -X PUT http://localhost:8100/api/nl43/test-meter/config \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"host": "192.168.1.100", "tcp_port": 80, "tcp_enabled": true}'
+   ```
+
+3. **Query settings:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8100/api/nl43/test-meter/settings
+   ```
+
+4. **Check Swagger UI:**
+   - Navigate to http://localhost:8100/docs
+   - Find "GET /api/nl43/{unit_id}/settings" endpoint
+   - Click "Try it out" and test interactively
+
+## Integration Tips
+
+### Frontend Integration
+```javascript
+// React/Vue/Angular example
+async function verifyDeviceBeforeMeasurement(unitId) {
+  const response = await fetch(`/api/nl43/${unitId}/settings`);
+  const { settings } = await response.json();
+
+  // Verify critical settings
+  if (settings.frequency_weighting !== 'A') {
+    alert('Warning: Frequency weighting not set to A');
+  }
+
+  // Check battery
+  const batteryPercent = parseInt(settings.battery_level);
+  if (batteryPercent < 20) {
+    alert('Low battery! Please charge device.');
+  }
+
+  return settings;
+}
+```
+
+### Python Automation
+```python
+def ensure_correct_config(unit_id: str, required_config: dict):
+    """Verify device matches required configuration."""
+    settings = get_device_settings(unit_id)
+
+    mismatches = []
+    for key, expected in required_config.items():
+        actual = settings.get(key)
+        if actual != expected:
+            mismatches.append(f"{key}: expected {expected}, got {actual}")
+
+    if mismatches:
+        raise ValueError(f"Configuration mismatch: {', '.join(mismatches)}")
+
+    return True
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for future versions:
+
+1. **Filtered queries** - Query parameter to select specific settings
+2. **Diff mode** - Compare current settings to expected values
+3. **Batch queries** - Get settings from multiple devices in one request
+4. **Settings profiles** - Save/load common configuration profiles
+5. **Change detection** - Track when settings were last modified
