The baud rate can be set only from the front-panel.
• Select one of the following: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 baud
(factory setting).
• The baud rate selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front-Panel Operation:

See also “To Set the Baud Rate,” on page 163.
Parity Selection ( RS-232 )
You can select the parity for RS-232 operation. The multimeter is
configured for even parity with 7 data bits when shipped from the factory.
The parity can be set only from the front-panel.
• Select one of the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or
Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity, you are indirectly setting
the number of data bits.
• The parity selection is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
