The length of the data transmitted. It can be set to 7 or 8
bits.
It can be set to Odd, Even or None. A parity bit is added to a
string of data bits to check if the data is correct.

bit is an odd number.
Even The total number of "ones" in the data plus parity bit
is an even number.
None No parity check is used.
The stop bit is at the end of a string of data bits. It is used in
asynchronous transmission to let the receiver know that the
