Serial Communications Parameters (INIt > CoMM > SER >C.PAR)
Select C.PAR. Then, select individual parameters to configure the serial communications.
Navigate to the correct setting. Settings include the following:
bUS.F – Specify RS232 or RS485 serial communications
bAUd – Baud rate (transmission rate)
PRty – Parity (used for transmission error checking)
dAtA – Number of bits per data point
StoP – Number of stop bits between data points
Select the desired setting.
6.6.3.1
Serial Bus Format (INIt > CoMM > SER > C.PAR >
bUS.F)
Select the Bus Format (bUS.F) parameter.
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following:
232C – Allows one-to-one serial communications (factory default)
485 – Allows multiple devices to operate on a single pair of wires
Select the indicated option.
6.6.3.2
Baud Rate (INIt > CoMM > SER > C.PAR > bAUd)
Select the Baud Rate (bAUd) parameter. The device being communicated to
determines how fast to set the Baud Rate.
Navigate to the desired setting for Baud rate (bits per second):
19.2 – 19,200 Baud (factory default)
9600 – 9,600 Baud
4800 – 4,800 Baud
2400 – 2,400 Baud
1200 – 1,200 Baud
57.6 – 57,600 Baud
115.2 – 115,200 Baud
Select the indicated option.
6.6.3.3
Parity (INIt > CoMM > SER > C.PAR > PRty)
Select the Parity (PRty) parameter.
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following:
odd – Odd parity used to verify communications (factory default)
EVEN – Even parity used to verify communications
NoNE – Parity is not used to verify communications
Select the indicated option.
