Use the Baud Rate Selection option from the Main Menu to set the baud rate
of the serial port (COM1) on your computer. The COM1 port will be
connected to the RS-232 serial port on the back of the DL5. (See Chapter 3
for connection instructions.) To enable your computer to communicate with
the DL5, both devices must be set to the same baud rate.
Note: As shipped, the DL5 is initially configured for 9600 baud. COM1
must be set to 9600 baud for the initial communications with the DL5. After
initial hook up, you can use the Off-line Programmer to change the baud rate
to 300 or 1200.
Note: It is recommended that the highest possible baud rate is selected.
Read and write functions may timeout at 300 baud for certain computers.
See the DL5 User Manual for details.
At the prompt you can enter either [1], [2], or [3] or press [END] if you do
not wish to change the baud rate.
•
Enter [1] to select 300 baud

•
Press [END] to set the baud rate and return to the Main Menu
Note: The DL5 displays its baud rate upon power up. To determine if
communication is established between COM1 and the DL5, select Terminal
Mode from the main menu.
