NOTE If a communication module (LAN, WLAN, or RS-422/RS-485 Interface) has been installed, the user port is not accessible.
The settings can be changed one parameter at a time or all parameters at once. Example (changing all parameters): >SERI 600 N 8 1 600 N 8 1 > Example (changing parity only): >SERI O 4800 O 7 1 VAISALA ______________________________________________________________________ 111...
