8.11.1 BAUD Rate
The BAUD rate is the first parameter in the menu. The BAUD rate setting de
-
termines the serial communications transmission rate.
The BAUD rate parameter is indicated by,
bAUd Serial BAUD rate parameter
Press “SET” to choose to set the BAUD rate. The current BAUD rate value is
then be displayed.
2400 b Current BAUD rate
The BAUD rate of the serial communications may be programmed to 300 600,
1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 BAUD. 2400 BAUD is the default setting. Use “UP”
or “DOWN” to change the BAUD rate value.
4800 b New BAUD rate
Press “SET” to set the BAUD rate to the new value or “EXIT” to abort the op-
eration and skip to the next parameter in the menu.
8.11.2 Sample Period
The sample period is the next parameter in the serial interface parameter menu.
The sample period is the time period in seconds between temperature measure-
ments transmitted from the serial interface. If the sample rate is set to 5, the in-
strument transmits the current measurement over the serial interface
approximately every five seconds. The automatic sampling is disabled with a
sample period of 0. The sample period is indicated by,
SPEr Serial sample period parameter
Press “SET” to choose to set the sample period. The current sample period
value is displayed.
SP=1 Current sample period (seconds)
Adjust the value with “UP” or “DOWN” and then use “SET” to set the sample
rate to the displayed value.
SP=60 New sample period
8.11.3 Duplex Mode
The next parameter is the duplex mode. The duplex mode may be set to full du
