Kongsberg EK80 Reference Manual

Use this function to specify the number of data bits for serial communication. The

standard number of data bits defined for NMEA serial line communication is 8 (eight).

Use this function to specify the parity for the serial communication. The standard

parity defined for NMEA serial line communication is "None".

A parity bit, or check bit is a bit added to the end of a string of binary code that

indicates whether the number of bits in the string with the value one is even

or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code. [...]

In serial data transmission, a common format is 7 data bits, an even parity bit,

and one or two stop bits. This format neatly accommodates all the 7-bit ASCII

characters in a convenient 8-bit byte. Other formats are possible; 8 bits of data

plus a parity bit can convey all 8-bit byte values.

Communication with external devices is important for the EK80 system. The communication

between the EK80 system and peripheral devices takes place using "datagrams". These

datagrams are self-contained and independent entities of data carrying information.

When setting up or maintaining the EK80 system, it is always useful to verify that the

communication lines with external devices are operational. The

allows you to study the communication stream on the chosen serial line or local area

network (LAN) port.
