Baud Rate Commands
PCBaud=x x= baud rate for communication between
Interface Box and computer
(4800, 9600, or 19200). Default 9600.
45Baud=x x= baud rate for communication between
Interface Box and SBE 45 (1200, 2400,
4800, or 9600). Default 4800. Must match
baud set in SBE 45 with
Baud= .
38Baud=x x= baud rate for communication between
Interface Box and optional SBE 38 (1200,
2400, 4800, or 9600). Default 4800. Must
match baud set in SBE 38 with
Baud= .
NMEABaud=x x= baud rate for communication between
Interface Box and optional NMEA
navigation device (4800 or 9600).
Default 4800. Must match baud of
NMEA navigation device.
Example: (user input shown in bold)

SBE45 Junction Box V 1.4
SBE 45 baud rate = 4800
[ 45Baud= ]
SBE 38 baud rate = 4800
[ 38Baud= ]
NMEA baud rate = 4800 [

standard output format [ Format= ]
Note:
Baud rate for communication
between Interface Box and
computer must be greater than baud
between Interface Box and SBE 45,
SBE 38, and NMEA navigation
device.
