| SETBAUD | Set RS-232 port baud rate |
Syntax
SETBAUD, <baud rate>
Processor Responds with one of the
following
For this change to take effect, you
must cycle the processor power.
For this change to take effect, you must first set dip switch #1 on S2 in the down position and then cycle the processor power.
| Parameter | Description | Format |
| baud rate | new RS-232 port baud rate | you must select one
of the following baud rates 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 |
Description
When dip switch #1 on S2 is in the up
position, the processor RS232 port baud rate is fixed at 9600
baud. When dip switch #1 on S2 is in the down position, the
processor RS232 port baud rate will be set to the user setting
determined by the SETBAUD command. When the SETBAUD command is
issued, the processor power must be cycled for the change to take
effect. This will allow laptops that have problems communicating
at 115200 baud to use an intermediate baud rate that is faster
than 9600 baud in order to minimize download times. Also, with
dip switch #1 on S2 set to the up position, the processor can be
set to a known baud rate (9600 baud), ensuring reliable
communications. This adjustable baud rate also provides greater
flexibility when connecting to external A/V equipment.
Example
Set RS-232 port baud rate to 57600 bps

For this change to take effect, you
