When using the Serial488A with plotting programs on the Macintosh™

computer with graphic drivers such as MacPlot™, some serial data format parameters
are user modifiable. The following is a partial MacPlot configuration screen which
allows selection of baud rate, stop bits and parity. With this driver, the word length is
fixed to 7 data bits with Xon/Xoff serial control. These non-modifiable defaults are
plotter dependent. Refer to the plotter or driver manual for the defaults of the specific
plotter.

For this example, 57600 baud with one stop bit and no parity has been chosen

for the serial data format.
