Note:
The baud rate can be changed using a terminal connected to the RS-232C port. However, this is not
recommended, as the TMO2D will immediately change to the new baud rate. Display and keyboard operation
will not be correct until the baud rate of the terminal is changed to match the new baud rate set in the TMO2D.
Update Rate: This option is used to change the interval at which data goes to the serial port. The current data interval
will appear in brackets, and users can enter a new data interval.
Data intervals range from 0 to 300 seconds. A data rate of zero will prevent data from passing to the serial port.
