Packet (String) Length
GSC.PortX.RPacketLen
Streaming mode is not recommended for general use, as it creates heavy demands on the Control
Logix processor and requires time-critical programming logic to properly process.
2.2.3 Port[x].Baudrate
This is the baud rate to use on the port. Enter the baud rate (bits per second) as
a value. All devices on this port must communicate at the same baud rate. For
example, to select 19K baud, enter 19200.
The following table describes the valid parameters for this configuration entry.

2.2.4 Port[x].Parity
Parity is a simple error checking algorithm used in serial communication. This
parameter specifies the type of parity checking to use. All devices connected to
the port must use the same parity.

2.2.5 Port[x].DataBits
5, 6, 7 or 8
This parameter sets the number of data bits for each word used by the protocol.
All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of data
bits.
