Baud Rate Selections
(1) Set Baud Rate
When item (1) is selected you will be able to change the Transceiver's RS232
baud rate - the communication rate between the Transceiver and the instrument to
which it is connected. It is important to note that this is independent of the baud
rate for the other Transceiver(s) in the communication loop. For example,
FreeWave may be used in an application to send data from remote process
instrumentation to an engineer's computer. In this application the baud rate for the
Transceiver on the instrumentation might be set to 9600, and the Transceiver on
the computer might be set to 57,600 or 115,200.
In general, it is desirable to set the baud rate to the highest level supported by the
device to which it is connected. However, please note that this may actually result
in slower data communications in certain circumstances (see the Troubleshooting
section).
