Serial Interface Settings

The following options are available once you have clicked [

Change Serial Parameters

].

Change Serial Parameters

Set the Serial Port Interface Settings to match those from the serial device you are connecting 

to the PocketPAD.  If these settings are incorrect, data will be corrupted as it passes through 

the PocketPAD.

Serial Port Parameters overview:

Serial Interface 

- 

Indicates the Serial Port to which these changes will impact.

Data Bits 

- 

Number of Data Bits.  Default is 8.

Stop Bits 

- 

Number of Stop Bits.  Default is 1.

Parity 

- 

Data Integrity method.  Default is None.  Other supported types are 

Odd, Even, Mark, and Space.

Speed 

- 

Baud rate.  Default is 19200 bits per second.  Maximum is 230400.

Flow Control 

- 

Type of handshaking. Default is None.  Other supported types are 

Hardware (RTS/CTS) and Software (Xon/Xoff).

Connection Type  - 

Default is RS232 on PocketPADs with RS232 only or RS232 enabled 

via dip switches on PocketPAD RS232/485/422 units.

 

 

Default is RS485 with PocketPAD RS232/485/422 units and RS4xx 

enabled via dip switches.

 

 

You will need to set the correct connection type here - RS485 (Half 

Duplex) or RS422 (Full Duplex).

Protocol 

- 

Default is Raw.

Raw

 

-  no protocol is used.  Data is streamed transpar-
