Set Serial Baud Rate:
This configuration is only required at the factory when mating the radar to the selected
speed digit display panels. Once configured, the radar keeps the configuration even after
power is removed and need not be reconfigured.
The optional statistics package can communicate with the radar to download saved
statistics at any set radar baud rate. The baud rate of the radar is automatically detected
by the stats package (Autobaud capability).
Use this feature to set the baud rate of the serial data port by following the following
steps:
Select the baud rate from the table below and note the key combination from the “Key #”
column in the table.
Press the “Set Baud “ key on the IR remote followed by the two digit numeric code from
the desired baud rate row picked in #3 above, followed by the “Set/OK” key.
You may press cancel any time in the above procedure to cancel programming the new
baud rate. The new baud rate is not stored and changed till you press the “Set/OK” key.
Your baud rate is now programmed in permanent memory and if you have speed display
panels hooked up, they will display the two digit key combination that you entered to
select the baud rate.
If you want to change the baud rate of the radar, you can simply follow the above
procedure and select a new baud rate any number of times.

Note: The radar has many other baud rates and output format options
that can be set via the serial port. Contact Houston Radar if one of
the above is not suitable for your requirements.
