LENGTH
Use
To set the number of data bits transmitted or expected when receiving.
Notes
Setting
Result
7
Seven data bits
8
Eight data bits
Note:
If transmitting binary files, set LENGTH to 8.
Note that you cannot select 5-bit or 6-bit data lengths from UTIL, although
the IBM PC supports these (can be selected by direct programming of the
UART). This is unlikely to cause problems, as these data lengths are very
rarely used.
LF
Use
To control automatic transmission of a LF character (decimal 10,
hexadecimal 0AH) after each CR (decimal 13, hexadecimal 0DH) when
transmitting.
Notes
This option is mainly provided for use with printers or other remote systems
that require an LF after a CR to start a new line.
