Baud Rate
Baud Rate (bits per second) refers to the speed of the data through
the RS232 port. If the data error rate is unacceptably high, setting
the baud rate lower should help.
Default is “9600 Baud”.
RS232
ACK/NAK
Data characters that are sent from the receiver to the sender in
order to “acknowlege” or “not acknowlege” the receipt of the data
without error. Rarely used these days.
Default is “No”.
Handshaking
Handshaking is the mechanism that controls the speed of data flow
so that a slower receiver of data is not overwhelmed by a faster
sender of data. Selections are: “Ignore”, “RTS (request to send)
Enabled at Power Up”, and “RTS Enabled in Communication”.
Default is “Ignore”
Data Bit
Number of bits per byte that are dedicated to data (minus start/stop
bits).
Default (and the current universal standard) is “8 Data Bits”.
Parity
A technique used to detect data transmission errors by adding an
extra bit to each character. This scheme has been supplanted in
modern communication devices by “error correction”.
Default (and the current universal standard) is “No Parity”.
BCC Character
Block Check Character. An error checking character added for data
integrity.
Default is “No”.
