In RS232, baud rate is used to represent the transmission rate (namely bits per 
second) of the data. You need to set the start bit, data bits, check bit (optional), and 
stop bit for each frame of data. 
Start Bit
Data Bit
Check Bit
Stop Bit
Start Bit: indicates when to output data. 
Data Bit: indicates the number of data bits actually contained in each frame of data. 
Check Bit: used to check whether the data are properly transmitted. 
Stop Bit: indicates when to stop outputting data. 
In the decode setting menu, press Decode1  Bus Type, then rotate the 
multifunction knob    to select "RS232". Press down the knob to select it. You can 
also press Bus Type continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. 
1. Enable or disable the bus 
Press Bus Status to enable or disable the decoding function. 
2. Quickly apply RS232 trigger settings to RS232 decoding 
Press Copy Trig to copy the current RS232 trigger settings and apply them to 
RS232 decoding function (set the corresponding RS232 decoding parameters 
automatically). For source channels, copy the source channel of the trigger to 
the Tx source channel of the decoding. For analog channels, the threshold level 
settings will also be copied. 
3. Set the baud rate 
Three setting methods are available for baud rate:   
  Press Baud Rate, then set the user-defined baud rate with the displayed 
numeric keypad.   
  Press  Baud  Rate,  then  select  the  preset  baud  rate  from  the  available 
options. The available baud rates include 50 bps, 75 bps, 110 bps, 134 bps, 
150 bps, 300 bps, and etc.   
  Press  Baud  Rate,  then  rotate  the  multifunction  knob    to  adjust  the 
baud rate at a small step of 1 bps.
