6.4  Command Parameters 

Each command, and its usage, is described in the following Sections. All examples, other than where stated, 
assume that the FT702LT Listener ID is set to 01, and the FT702LT TalkerID is set to WI, (Weather Instrument).  

6.4.1 

BR: Set or Query the Serial Interface Baud Rate

FT702LT output: 

$<talkerID>,BR=<baudrate>*<checksum><cr><lf> 
$aa,BR=x*hh<cr><lf> 

 
Parameters 

<baudrate> 

Set the baud rate to 38400 baud 

Set the baud rate to 19200 baud 

Set the baud rate to 9600 baud (Factory Default Setting) 

Set the baud rate to 4800 baud 

Set the baud rate to 2400 baud 

Set the baud rate to 1200 baud 

 
Examples 

Example 1 
Set the baud rate to 19200 baud, verify the new setting and send a user reset command to 
activate the new baud rate

Description 

Use the BR command to change the FT702LT serial interface baud rate. The new baud rate 
setting will only come into effect when the FT702LT is next powered-up or after a Reset 
command (RSU) has been received.  
 
If the baud rate is changed, you will only be able to communicate with the FT702LT if the 
host 

computer’s baud rate is set to the same baud rate. If you do not know what the current 

setting of the FT702LT baud rate is you will need to try each baud rate in turn until you 
establish communication.
