of the ports that you will use.


These include the most common settings for each communication port.
These settings are Baud Rate, number of Data bits, and Parity . These
settings must be identical to the settings on the device that is connected to the
port. You may choose independent settings for each communication port.

You may choose Kermit , Xmodem or Xmodem 1K protocol for file transfer
through the communications port. 6820, 6920, 600R, 600XL, 600XLM and 6600
sondes use only
Kermit
protocol.

referred to as software handshaking and RTS/CTS as hardware handshaking. If you
are using a YSI sonde select Xon/Xoff . Modems usually require RTS/CTS .
