Description
Determines the communication speed. The setting for the
PT40 must match the setting that the host computer uses.
Specifies the number of data bits in each character.
Specifies the parity of the data characters.
Selects the minimum space between data characters.
Used for software data-flow control. With this option enabled,
the PT40 transmits an Xoff character when its serial input
buffer has fewer than ten characters of free space. Once all the
data in the serial buffer is processed, the PT40 transmits an
Xon character.
