CHANGING THE BAUD RATE AND PARITY

The baud rate and parity of the DATUM 2000™ Serial Option can be set to
the following values:

COMMAND

ASCII

BAUD:

300

3

33H

600

6

36H

1200

1

31H

2400

2

32H

4800

4

34H

9600

9

39H

PARITY:

NONE

N

4EH

ODD

O

4FH

EVEN

E

45H

To change the baud or parity, transmit a P, ASCII 50H, and the command
number or letter from the table above. For example, to set the DATUM
2000™ to 9600 baud and even parity, transmit P (always allow 1 second
between commands sent to DATUM 2000™) and then transmit 9, to set the
baud rate to 9600. Set your computer or terminal to 9600 baud and then
transmit P and E to set even parity.

When you change the communications parameters, they are stored internally
and will be recalled every time the DATUM 2000™ is powered up.

Hint: Transmit a V to the DATUM 2000, if the verify message "SETRA
DATUM 2000", is not received, wait 1 second, and retransmit a V. Transmit
a V each second until the verification message is received. When the
verification message is received, the DATUM 2000™ is ready for a new
command. Now transmit a P, wait at least 1 second and transmit the baud or
parity parameter.
