Competition Electronics Turbo35-GFX User Manual page 38

on PC's, some of our customers may not have a serial port on their computers. In this
case, CEI recommends the purchase of a USB to Serial adapter device. These can be had
for between $20.00 (internet) and $40.00 (your local "big-box" store).
Here is the schematic for those who do not have a Radio Shack at their disposal.
Communications Configuration Details
The serial port on the T35-GFX is preconfigured for the following settings:
• 9600 Baud
• 8 Data Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• No Parity
• No Handshaking
Whatever device you connect to T35-GFX, it will have to be configured with these
parameters in order to achieve successful communication. Usually, this is a function of
the program you are using on the PC, but on some very simplistic programs, you may
have to edit parameters in whatever your PC and operating system provides for
manipulation of the serial com port.
