To set the clock:
To enable numeric entry press
Use the numeric keys to type the time (HH.MM).
To store the time press . This moves the cursor to RS-232 Setup.
4.8 RS-232 SETUP
Use the RS-232 Setup menu to set the operating parameters of the serial I/O port. Settings
include baud rate, parity, data bits, line feed, network ID number and waiting period before a
RTS time-out. Only activate the RS-232 output if you intend to transmit serial data. This will
avoid burdening the system with unnecessary data transferals while it is performing flow
computations.
NOTE: The RS-232 stop bit implementation is fixed. If you are using a communication
program, such as Windows 3.xx Terminal™ or Windows 95/98 Hyper-Termi-
nal™, that includes a field for stop bits, select 1 stop bit.

4.8.1 BAUD RATE
The Baud Rate menu cell sets the asynchronous serial transmission data transfer rate of the
RS-232 port. It provides a selection of standard baud rates up to 38,400 baud. The selected
baud rate must match the baud rate setting of the receiving external device. The factory-set
baud rate is 9600.
