Parity Setting
The configuration of the parity switches. Depending on the
configuration of the parity output switch and the parity switch, a parity

either even or odd. A parity check is performed after data has been
transferred, and is accomplished by testing a unit of the data for either
odd or even parity to determine whether an error has occurred in
reading, writing, or transmitting the data.
