Serial Parameters

Programming the PT2000 and TopGun

Serial Parameters

Use bar codes to set parameters for using the PT2000 or TopGun as a serial device. Table 4-2 describes the serial parameters; bar codes for setting them begin on Serial Parameters on page 143. (For a complete listing of parameters and defaults, refer to Appendix A.)

This section also includes a table of Code 39 and ASCII equivalents for serial characters (refer to Table 4-3 on page 70). Use the Code 39 equivalents when creating bar codes for programming.

Table 4-2: Serial Parameters

ID #	Parameter	Description


C1	Baud rate	Determines the communication speed. The
		setting for the portable must match the setting
		that the host computer uses.

C2	Data bits	Specifies the number of data bits in each
		character.

C3	Parity	Specifies the parity of the data characters.

C4	Stop bits	Selects the minimum space between data
		characters.

C5	Xon/Xoff	Used for software data-flow control. With this
	handshaking	option enabled, the portable transmits an Xoff
		character when its serial input buffer has
		fewer than ten characters of free space. Once
		all the data in the serial buffer is processed,
		the portable transmits an Xon character.

Xmodem Protocol

The PT2000 and TopGun support the Xmodem (checksum) file- transfer protocol for serial communication, which is available in many commercially marketed products.
