Data Bits [8]
Configuration options: [7] [8]
Parity [None]
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.
[Mark] and [Space] parity do not allow for error detection.
[Even]
[Odd]
[Mark]
[Space]
Stop Bits [1]
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the
beginning.) The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow
devices may require more than 1 stop bit. Configuration options: [1] [2]
Flow Control [None]
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data,
if the receiving buffers are full, a "stop" signal can be sent to stop the data
flow. Once the buffers are empty, a "start" signal can be sent to re-start the
flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
Configuration options: [None] [Hardware RTS/CTS]
