For high performing PCs, set the baud rate to 19200. If you experience a com-
munications failure at this rate, set the baud rate to 9600. Baud rate settings
less than 9600 may result in real-time delivery that is unacceptably slow.
Data Bits Number of data bits.

Stop Bits Number of stop bits.
Range: 1, 2.
