Access the User Program, by pressing the [PROG] key on the keypad. The standard measurement mode screen is
replaced by the following initial programming mode screen:
The available rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 baud. After verifying or changing the baud rate
setting, press the [EXIT] key three times to return to standard measurement mode.
