2.5.2 SElTING PARAMETERS
Before the 298 can operate with another system, three
parameters must be set: parity, stop bits and the baud
rate. These parameters must be the same for both
systems.
Baud Rate
To set the baud rate, refer to figure 2-7 and follow this
procedure:
1. Locate the baud rate rotary switch on the programmer's
rear panel.
2. Locate the desired baud rate on the chart in figure 2-7
and the switch position required for that baud rate.
3. With a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the switch to the
numbered switch position that corresponds to your
desired baud rate.

Parity and Stop Bits
To set parity and stop bits, refer to figure 2-8 and follow
this procedure:
CAUTION
Make sure that all device(s) have
been removed from the Pak socket(s)
before removing the Pak or turning
off the programmer. Voltage
transients caused by removing the
Pak could damage the device(s).
1. Turn off programmer.
2. Remove the Pak from the programmer (see
subsection 2.3).
3. Access the controller board's status switch (U53)
through the cut-out in the lower right corner of the
protective shield. See figure 2-8.
4. Flip the switches to the desired setting; figure 2-8
shows the switch positions set by the factory.
5. Reinstall the Programming pak and turn on the
programmer.
