9.4.4 Baud rate, data format
On leaving the factory the baud rate for all interface modules is programmed to
9600 baud. In order to avoid unnecessary problems when networking several
devices together the baud rate should not be altered; instead, the computer
should be set to match. If for some reason this proves impossible you can, in
the ´Baud rate´ function, choose a value from 1200 / 2400 / 4800 / 9600 baud
or 57.6 / 115.2 kilobaud.
Set the baud rate in the function (s. 8.2):
Baud rate: 9600 bd
Data format 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (cannot be changed)
