Data Bits

Default:

Seven

Options:

Seven, Eight

Allows you to establish the total number of bits in each character.

RS-422

Default:

Disabled

Options:

Disabled, Enabled

Used only in Point-to-Point protocol, and not with RTS or CTS.

Whenever RS-422 is disabled, RS-232 is enabled in the background. How-
ever, an exception occurs whenever Multidrop has been selected. In this
case the functioning protocol will be RS-485 regardless of the displayed
status of RS-422 in the menus.
