To Set the Parity
You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The meter is configured for even
parity with 7 data bits when shipped from the factory. See also ““Parity Selection
(RS-232)” on page 118.
1 Turn on the front-panel menu.
2 Move across to the I/O MENU choice on this level.
3 Move down a level and then across to the PARITY command.
4 Move down to the “parameter” level to select the parity.
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.
