The
PE
option enables parity checking. With the option on, par-
ity errors cause Device
IiO
errors and turn on the high order bit
for
7
or fewer data bits. The default is no parity checking. Fram-
ing and overrun errors always cause Device
IiO
errors and turn
on the high order bit, regardless
of
whether
or
not you use the
PE
option.
