To set the baud rate (bit rate, in bits per second), proceed as
follows:
1. Press the top key. Rotate the knob until the top line reads:
>-----SETTINGS-----<
2. Select line 2 (next to top line) by pressing the second key. This
selects line 2 so that you may select the type of setting to work
with:
-----SETTINGS-----
> Type: Display
Option: Format
Status: Decimal
3. Rotate the knob until line 2 reads as shown below (lines 3 and
4 may differ):
-----SETTINGS-----
> Type: RS-232
Option: Data Bits
Status: 8
4. Press the third key to select line 3 of the display. Rotate the
knob until line 3 appears as shown below:
-----SETTINGS-----
Type: RS-232
> Option: Baud Rate<
Status: 2400
5. If line 4 of the display already indicates the desired baud rate,
then no action is necessary. Otherwise, press the fourth key.
Rotate the knob until the desired baud rate shows on line 4. In
this example, 9600 is desired:
-----SETTINGS-----
Type: RS-232
Option: Baud Rate
<Update?: 9600
Then press the fourth key to confirm the update. Pressing
any other button cancels the change.
Set the RS-232 port of your data terminal or computer to operate
at the same baud rate as the 1256. Refer to the user's manual for
your terminal for instructions on making these settings. If you are
using a computer with terminal emulation, refer to the user's
manual for the terminal emulation software.
