To change the Baud Rate:
To access the []Baud Rate] option list press
Move the cursor to the required baud rate by pressing
To store selection press .This moves the cursor to [Parity].
4.8.2 PARITY
Parity is a simple method to check the accuracy of an asynchronous serial data transfer.
The parity setting tells the meter how to format the data words it sends to an external device.
Parity is usually an additional bit added to each data word. For example, if you select [EVEN],
the total sum of all the bits in a single data word (including the parity bit) will always be an
even number.
The [Parity] option list includes all the standard parity settings for asynchronous serial
transmission. The selected parity must match the parity setting of the receiving external de-
vice. Some devices ignore parity entirely; therefore, the option list includes [None]. The fac-
tory setting is [None].
To edit the Parity Setting:
To access the [Parity] option list press
Move the cursor to the required parity setting by pressing
To store the data press . This moves the cursor to [Data Bits].
4.8.3 DATA BITS
You can specify how many data bits the meter uses to format data words for serial trans-
missions. The default setting is [7]. Note that the 996P portable printer requires a word
length of [8].
To set the Data word length:
To access the [Data Bits] option list press
To move the asterisk to the required bit setting press
Press to store data. This moves the cursor to [Line Feed].
4.8.4 LINE FEED
Some serial devices (printers, terminals, etc.) insert a line feed automatically after they re-
ceive a carriage return character. When communicating with these device types, you should
set the Line Feed to [OFF]. This instructs the flow computer to send a carriage return charac-
ter without adding a line feed to avoid creating an additional blank line after each carriage
return. Setting the Line Feed to [ON] tells the flow computer to insert a line feed character
