6.6.3  Serial Communications Parameters (INIt > CoMM > SER >C.PAR) 
Select C.PAR. Then, select individual parameters to configure the serial communications. 
Navigate to the correct setting. Settings include the following: 
  bUS.F  –  Specify RS232 or RS485 serial communications 
  bAUd  –  Baud rate (transmission rate) 
  PRty  –  Parity (used for transmission error checking) 
  dAtA  –  Number of bits per data point 
  StoP  –  Number of stop bits between data points 
Select the desired setting. 
6.6.3.1  Serial Bus Format (INIt > CoMM > SER > C.PAR > 
bUS.F) 
Select the Bus Format (bUS.F) parameter. 
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following: 
  232C –  Allows one-to-one serial communications (factory default) 
  485  –  Allows multiple devices to operate on a single pair of wires  
Select the indicated option. 
6.6.3.2  Baud Rate (INIt > CoMM > SER > C.PAR > bAUd) 
Select the Baud Rate (bAUd) parameter. The device being communicated to 
determines how fast to set the Baud Rate. 
Navigate to the desired setting for Baud rate (bits per second): 
  19.2  –  19,200 Baud (factory default) 
  9600  –  9,600 Baud 
  4800  –  4,800 Baud 
  2400  –  2,400 Baud 
  1200  –  1,200 Baud 
  57.6  –  57,600 Baud 
  115.2  –  115,200 Baud 
Select the indicated option. 
6.6.3.3  Parity (INIt > CoMM > SER > C.PAR > PRty) 
Select the Parity (PRty) parameter. 
Navigate to the desired setting. Settings include the following: 
  odd  –  Odd parity used to verify communications (factory default) 
  EVEN  –  Even parity used to verify communications 
  NoNE –  Parity is not used to verify communications 
Select the indicated option.
