Communication Rate

Match the communication rate of your ASCII module with that of your
ASCII device. Set bits IW1(10-12) accordingly. Your selections are:

Number of Data Bits

Your ASCII device generates either seven or eight data bits per character
(Figure 2.11). The ASCII module neither stores nor outputs the eighth bit,
but must know if it is there. Use the default value (eight bit data) if this
information is not available. Set bit IW1(113) accordingly.
