Parity
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.

Odd: parity bit is 0 if num of 1's in the data bits is odd.
Mark: parity bit is always 1. Space: Parity bit is always 0.
Mark and Space Parity do not allow for error detection.
Options available: None/Even/Odd/Mark/Space. Default setting is None.
Flow Control
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are
full, a 'stop' signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a 'start' signal can be
sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
Options available: None/Hardware RTS/CTS. Default setting is None.
Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard
setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit.
Options available: 1/2. Default setting is 1.
