5.4.22 Stop Bits
This setting defines the termination method of each byte. This setting is usually
programmable within the electric meter itself, and the two settings must
match. It is
usually set to “1”.
The next configuration items appear on the Input 1/2 Configuration and Input 3/4

These settings are used in other applications and currently have no effect when
interfacing to an electric meter. However, these settings are reported to the DC-2000
data collection software, and DC-2000 will compare it to a value that it has in its
database. If they do not match, the call will be rejected. Therefore it is
recommended that all four inputs be set to “Data”, and the number of active inputs be set
to 4 in DC-2000. Chapter-6 has more information about DC-2000.
