Parity Setting
This parameter determines the parity that the OIT uses to communicate to the host
controller. Options are Even, Odd, None, Mark, Space. When the OIT is in Configuration
mode, no parity is used to communicate to STEPware-100 regardless of how this setting
has been configured.
To modify this parameter using STEPware-100:
1. Open the Configuration Editor.
2. In the OIT - Host Serial Communications Settings group box, select the desired parity
from the Parity option buttons.
To modify this parameter in Configuration mode:

Data Bits Setting
This parameter determines the number of data bits that the OIT uses to communicate to
the host controller. Options are 7 Bits or 8 Bits. When the OIT is in Configuration mode,
8 data bits are used to communicate to STEPware-100 regardless of how this setting has
been configured.
To modify this parameter using STEPware-100:
1. Open the Configuration Editor.
2. In the OIT - Host Serial Communications Settings group box, select the desired
number of data bits from the Data Bits option buttons.
To modify this parameter in Configuration mode:
1. At Data Length:, use the OIT’s TOGGLE key to select the desired number of data
bits. Refer to the Configuration Mode section in this chapter for more information.
To modify this parameter from the host controller:

Control Commands for more information.
Stop Bits Setting
This parameter determines the number of stop bits that the OIT uses to communicate to
the host controller. Options are 1 Bit or 2 Bits. When the OIT is in Configuration mode,
one stop bit is used to communicate to STEPware-100 regardless of how this setting has
been configured.
To modify this parameter using STEPware-100:
