SETUP – Serial menu page
This menu page is used to modify the communication settings for the two RS-232 serial ports. These
settings affect the communication ability of serial “terminal” programs and the LDV8000 control protocol
(Port B only). The serial settings of the QuVIS Encore and the connected PC must match in order for
communication between the two to function properly.
IMPORTANT!
While it is not specifically listed, the Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits settings for both RS-
232 serial ports on the QuVIS Encore are fixed at 8N1, which is the most common setting for this type of
serial port.
