Baud Rate
The [Baud Rate] menu cell sets the asynchronous serial transmission data transfer rate of the RS-232
port. It provides a selection of standard baud rates up to 38,400 baud. The selected baud rate must
match the baud rate setting of the receiving external device. The factory-set baud rate is 9600.
To change the Baud Rate:
1. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the [Baud Rate] option list.
2. Move the cursor to the required baud rate.
3. Press <ENT> to store selection. This moves the cursor to [Parity].
Parity
Parity is a simple method to check the accuracy of an asynchronous serial data transfer. The parity
setting tells the meter how to format the data words it sends to an external device. Parity is usually an
additional bit added to each data word. For example, if you select [EVEN], the total sum of all the bits in
a single data word (including the parity bit) will always be an even number.
The [Parity] option list includes all the standard parity settings for asynchronous serial transmission. The
selected parity must match the parity setting of the receiving external device. Some devices ignore parity
entirely; therefore, the option list includes [None]. The factory setting is [None].
