Setup Options Options Defaults Description
■ None: No parity bits
are sent.
■ Even: Parity bit is 0 if
the number of 1s in the
data bits is even.
■ Odd: Parity bit is 0 if
the number of 1s in the
data bits is odd.
■ Mark: Parity bit is
always 1.
■ Space: Parity bit is
always 0.
Mark and Space parity
do not allow for error
detection. They can be
used as an additional data
bit.
Stop Bits 1/2 1 Stop bits indicate the end
of a serial data packet.
(A start bit indicates the
beginning of a serial data
packet.) The standard
setting is 1 stop bit.
Communication with slow
devices may require more
than 1 stop bit.
Flow Control None, Hardware RTS/
CTS, Software Xon/Xoff
None Flow control can prevent
data loss from buffer
overflow. When sending
data, if the receiving
buffers are full, a 'stop'
signal can be sent to stop
the data flow. Once the
buffers are empty, a 'start'
signal can be sent to restart
the flow. Hardware flow
control uses two wires to
send start/stop signals.
