3.3.1.2 Tools / Baud Rate for SCI port

Click ‘Tools’ / ‘Baud Rate for SCI port’ to see the current baud rate for the RS232/RS485 serial port. It may be changed to some values between 19,200 and 115,200. (The baud rate for the USB need not be defined – usually it is 921,600.) The change will take effect only after card reset. The current b/r used by the board for the serial communication is shown for a while on the LED display upon card reset, prefixed by ‘Sb’ (=Serial baud rate). Do not mix the serial b/r with the b/r shown in the Communication box – they are not necessarily the same: The b/r in the Communication box specifies the actual b/r in which the Settings utility is communicating with the card. If the Settings utility communicates with the card through a serial port, the two b/r values will indeed be the same. However, in case the Settings utility communicates with the card through a USB port, the b/r displayed in the Communication box will be usually 921,600, regardless of the serial b/r.

Note: Normally, the b/r in the board side will be the same as the b/r in the PC side. However, it does happen that the communication is successful only when the PC sets the b/r to some other value. (This anomaly might occur only with the serial communication, not when using USB.) You may find out the required b/r in the PC side by watching any of the supplied utilities (Calibration, Settings or Monitor): upon the initialization they try to communicate with the board with various values of b/r.
