Defining the serial line communication parameters for
navigation sensors and external devices
Serial line communication is important for TV80 operation. All serial line communication is
based on specific transmission parameters. These parameters must be defined at each end of
the line, and they must be set up identical. By means of the
can define these parameters manually to match fixed parameters on the peripheral device.
Prerequisites
• The new device is physically connected to the Processor Unit using a serial cable.
• The new device is physically available, and operational.
• The communication parameters required for the device interface are known.
