To set up the serial communications parameters for a port, select it, then click the Property Settings button at the bottom of the page:

The meanings of the settings are given in the following table:

Setting

Meaning

 

 

Port ID

Each port on the SN0108 / SN0116 has a port ID number (COM1 -

 

COM8 for the SN0108, or COM1 - COM16 for the SN0116). The Port

 

ID field displays the number of the port that is being configured.

 

 

Port Name

You can give a port an appropriate name by editing the Port Name

 

field.

 

 

Baud Rate

This sets the port’s data transfer speed. Choices are from 300 –

 

115200 (drop down the list to see them all). Set this to match the

 

baud rate setting of the connected device. Default is 9600 (which is a

 

basic setting for many serial devices).

 

 

Data Bits

This sets the number of bits used to transmit one character of data.

 

Choices are: 5, 6, 7 and 8. Set this to match the data bit setting of the

 

connected device. Default is 8 (which is the default for the majority of

 

serial devices).
