BNC 630 - Manual (Page 39)

5.20 Remote Mode
This menu permits the user to specify the RS232 baud rate or to disable the port.
It might be useful to disable the port when you have a device connected to the RS232 port and you do not want characters that it
may send to the 630 to affect the operation of the unit.
The Remote Mode displays the menu:
RS-232 baud rate: 9600
Use 0-9, arrow keys, or knob to select
You may scroll through a list of the available baud rates by rotating the wheel or pressing an arrow key. You may also specify a
particular baud rate directly by pressing a number key according to the table below:
0 - Disable the RS232 port
1 - 300
2 - 1200
3 - 2400
4 - 4800
5 - 9600
6 - 19200
7 - 38400
8 - 57600
9 - 115200
To abort this question without affecting the current setting, press any key other a number or an arrow.
Disabling the serial port causes the 630 to ignore all incoming characters from the serial port. Disabling the RS232 port does not
affect the output of information, i.e. the 630 will still output characters to the RS232 port.
Note: The baud rate is not permanently changed unless the instrument setup is saved using the RECALL/STORE key. On power-up,
the instrument setup is recalled from location 0. You may therefore change the power-up baud rate of the instrument by selecting a
baud rate and then saving the instrument setup to location 0.
This menu does not change any other RS232 parameters. The port is always set to 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
