the list) from the PID list. PIDs are deleted whether they are enabled or not.

Figure 2- 14 Async PID List Page
The display fields and columns in the Async PID List (Figure 2- 14) have a similar meaning to the Net PID List fields
and columns, with the following exceptions:
Column/Field Description
PID Rate This is the baud rate (bps) that the Async Port will be set to when the data is output from this
PID. Effectively this is the maximum data rate for the data received from this PID – it could be
received from the satellite at a slower rate, but will be output from the Async Port at the baud
rate shown.
No PIDs Enabled Since only one PID can be assigned to the Async Port at any one time, the enable column was
implemented using radio buttons instead of check boxes. Since radio buttons force a single
selection to be made, the valid option of No PIDs Enabled has to be provided, which means no
PIDs are authorized for output on the async port.
