Setting RS-232 Parity and Data Bits
To set the data bits:
1. With the RS-232 set up menu displayed, press .
2. Press the soft key under the desired parity, and data bit parameter.
 = No parity with 8 data bits
 = Odd parity with 7 data bits
 = Even parity with 7 data bits
Setting RS-232 Stop Bits
To set the stop bits:
1. With the RS-232 set up menu displayed, press   .
2. Press the soft key labeled    to toggle between 1 and 2 stop bits.
Note
When 2 STOP BITS is highlighted, the interface is configured to use 2 stop
bits.
Setting RS-232 Flow Control
To set flow control:
1. With the RS-232 set up menu displayed, press .
2. Press the soft key under the desired flow control.
 = No flow control
 = Software flow control Xon (hex 11) and Xoff (hex 13)
 = Hardware flow control, RTS/CTS
Setting RS-232 End-Of-Line Character
To set the End-Of-Line (EOL) character:
1. With the RS-232 set up menu displayed, press .
2. Press the soft key labeled with the desired End-Of-Line character(s).
 = Carriage return only
 = Line Feed only
 = Carriage Return and Line Feed
Note
Setting the EOL character(s) in RS-232 also sets the same EOL
character(s) for Ethernet operation.
Enabling and Disabling Fluke 45 Emulation Echo
Although you can turn echo on or off at anytime, the selection is only used or changed
when the Meter’s command mode is set to Fluke 45 emulation.
To enable or disable Echo for the RS-232 port:
1. With the RS-232 set up menu displayed, press .
2. Press either the  or  soft key.
