RECAUTIONS TO
ESD
Please note, that the Micronix PV modules must be handled with respect to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge).
Electrostatic Discharge to the PV modules must be avoided.
Before removing the module from the protection bag, the user must be discharged using a grounded wrist
ribbon.

B
AUD RATE
The baud rate is set by the software application. Each port is compatible to a normal PC COM-port and should
be accessed accordingly. Operating systems and standard software applications have utilities for that.
For more sophisticated programming and specific control of handshake signals, please refer to a 16C550
manual. This manual can be ordered from a National Semiconductor representative.
