Option 009: Automation Parity
Default (0)
This option determines the parity of serial port 1.
NOTE: The number of stop bits can not be changed and will always be 2.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option 00A: Serial Printer Format
Default (0)
This option regulates how data is formatted when sent to a serial printer and how the serial port is supervised. By setting Option 00A to 01,
CTS will need to be set high and print to both HyperTerminal and physical serial printer. By setting Option 00A to 02 (note that this will be
displayed as ‘DCD’ in programming mode), DCD will need to be set high. This option affects how the COM2 serial port is supervised and
how the data is formatted. The default value disables the option, blocking the printing of data.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option 00B: Serial Baud Rate
Default (57600)
This option determines the baud rate at which the SG-System I will communicate to the serial printer via serial port 2. As a general rule, the
faster the baud rate, the better the unit’s performance. Valid selections are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, and 57600.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option 00C: Serial Data Bits
Default (8)
This option determines the number of data bits the SG-System I will use to communicate to the serial printer via serial port 2. Valid selec-
tions are seven or eight, to indicate seven data bits or eight data bits. As a general rule, the higher the number of data bits, the better the unit’s
performance.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
