. Selecting the Baud Rate and Parity

Select the Baud Rate the VSA-31 needs to use to communicate with the
projector from the drop down menu. Use a rate that matches your
projector. Choices are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400,
57600 or 115200 bits per second. Select the Parity the VSA-31 needs to
use to communicate with the projector from the drop down menu. Use a
rate that matches your projector. Choices are: NONE, EVEN and ODD.

NOTE

Early versions of hardware only did not support the baud
rates in BOLD TYPE above or any Parity selection.
Selecting an incompatible baud rate will result in the unit
defaulting to 9600 baud. Selecting any parity other than
“None” will result in the unit defaulting to None. Contact
Hall Research for more information.
