A and B are defined as follows:

4.1.2. Data Format

The serial port provides drivers which allow communications in either RS-232C or RS-422 electrical
standards. The composition of the bit serial data format is as follows:
1 START + 8 DATA + 1 PARITY + 1 STOP
START D0 D1
BIT (LSB)
EVEN PARITY: The total of logic 1's in D0 to D7 and PARITY equals an even number
One of four baud rates is selected using the Engineering SETUP menu. When using the RS-422
standard the preferred baud rate is 38.4 KBaud. When using the RS-232 standard the preferred baud
rate is 19.2 KBaud.
