9.1.2. Communication Procedure
The “SS-HQ1 Control Software” provided by Sony is designed for use with RS-232C communication. The
sending and receiving processes, as well as EEPROM write/read processes, have been optimized for the
SS-HQ1 system, so you do not have to worry about factors like communication format and byte length. The
following settings should be used in the PCs.

COM PORT
Any (1-16)
Communication speed *
19200 bps
PARITY NONE
DATA bits
8 bit
STOP bits
1 bit
Handshaking Nothing
* The speeds listed below can be selected through a parameter as communication speeds.
This setting is applied after it is written to the EEPROM and a reset is performed.

Description
0[h]:9600bps
BPSSEL CAT12_Byte10_bit0
1[h]:19200bps
Note that if the communication speed set in the “SS-HQ1 Control Software” does not match the
communication speed in the following parameter, communication will not work. BPSSEL is initially set to 1[h]
(19200bps). The setting is the same even when there is no EEPROM.
