You also need to verify the parity setting of the device you are connecting the LevelCom 100
to. The most common setting is N-8-1, no parity, 8 bits per byte, one stop bit. This will be
the normal default for interfacing to desktop computers.
The other settings are often encountered when interfacing to PLCs or data scanners. Some
of these devices will not support N-8-1 parity settings. If no parity is used they may operate
with the parity bit always set, this will be N-8-2 parity. Alternately they may only support even
or odd parity settings. To determine the required setting see the manual for the device you
are connecting the LevelCom 100 to.
