You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The multimeter is
configured for even parity with 7 data bits when shipped from the
factory. See also “Parity Selection,” on page 93.

Use the left/right arrow keys to see the parity choices. Choose from one of
the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or Odd (7 data bits).
When you set parity, you are indirectly setting the number of data bits.

The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
