Communication Settings
The Communication Settings parameters let you set the baud rate, parity, stop
bit and data length for the first 9-pin serial port (COM 1).
.
Baud rate
: 110 to 9600 bits per second (BPS)
.
Parity
: Odd, Even, or None
.
Stop bits
: 1 or 2 stop bits
.
Data length
: 7- or 8-bit data word
There is one restriction on the options available for the communication status
parameters. If your data length parameter is an 8-bit data word, you must select
one of the following combinations:
.
1 stop bit and odd or even parity
.
2 stop bits and no parity
The default values are 9600 BPS, odd parity, 1 stop bit, and 7-bit data word.
5.1.8
Memory Test
When you set this parameter to Enable, the system tests the memory at power-
on. When you set it to Disable, the system skips the memory test.
