Communications Setting Level
The communications specifications are set in the communications
setting level. Make the individual communications settings from the
front panel.
The communications parameters and their settings are listed in the
following table.
Parameter Display Settings
Communications u-no 0 to 99
unit number
Baud rate 1.2, 2.4,
bps
4.8, or 9.6
(kbps)
Communications len 7/8 (bits)
data length
Stop bits sbit 1/2
Parity None,
prty
even, or
odd
Note: 1. The settings shown in reverse video are the default settings.
2. Settings made in the communications setting level are en-
abled when the power is turned ON again.
Before performing communications, perform the following procedure
with the front panel keys to set the communications unit number,
baud rate, and other settings. Refer to the communications manual
for operation methods for other communications settings.
1.Press the Key for at least 3 seconds and move from the
operation level to the initial setting level.
2.Press the Key and move from the initial setting level to the
communications setting level.
3.Press the Key to change the settings items as shown
below.
4.Use the and Keys to change the settings data.
(1) Communications unit number
(2) Baud rate
(3) Communications data length
(4) Stop bits
(5) Parity
Align each communications setting with the settings on the personal
computer or other communications device.
1. Communications Unit Number (u-no)
When communicating with a host computer, set a unit number to
enable the host computer to identify each unit. The number can
be set in a range from 0 to 99 in increments of 1. The default unit
number is 1. When using multiple units, the units will not function
normally if the same unit number is set for more than one unit.
2. Baud Rate (bps)
Set the baud rate for communications with the host computer. The
settings correspond to the following baud rates.
1.2 (1,200 bps), 2.4 (2,400 bps), 4.8 (4,800 bps), and 9.6
(9,600 bps).
Set value

3. Communications Data Length (len)
The communications data length can be changed to either 7 or 8
bits.
4. Stop Bits (sbit)
The stop bits can be set to either 1 or 2.
5. Parity (prty)
The parity can be set to none, even, or odd.
