8) Receive control

When BUSY signal stays at LOW, it is feasible to receive data from host computer. But not feasible when BUSY signal stays at HIGH.

3.2 Serial interface (RS-232C)

1)Synchronization : Asynchronous

2)Transmission speed: 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400bps (user selectable)

3)A word consists of

Start bit

: 1bit

Data bit

: 7 or 8 bit (user selectable)

Parity bit

: odd, even or no parity (user selectable)

Stop bit

: more than 1 bit

4)Signal polarity RS-232C

Mark

=

Logic “1” (-3V -- -12V)

Space

=

Logic “0” (+3V -- +12V)
