Notes
• For the transmission speed (300/600/1200/2400 bps), the stop
bit length (2 bits), the parity check (invalid/even), the start code
(STX (H02)), and the end code (any code/C
R
and LF/ETX),
program−based settings are required.
• Connecting the serial data unit to an RS232C device
Using a shielding cable, connect the RS232C connector of the
RS232C device to the COM. port connector (9 pins) of the
serial data unit.
