CTD Serial Port Baud Rate, Data Bits, and Parity
• SBE 9plus with SBE 11plus V2 Deck Unit (with or without
Water Sampler) –
¾ COM port - connected to Deck Unit SBE 11 Interface connector
¾ Baud rate - between Deck Unit and computer; must agree with Deck
Unit setting (19200 baud)
¾ Parity and data bits – between Deck Unit and computer; must agree
with Deck Unit setting (8 data bits, no parity)
• SBE 19, 19plus, or 25 with Water Sampler and SBE 33 Deck Unit or
with PDIM and SBE 33 Deck Unit –
¾ COM port - connected to Deck Unit Serial Data connector
(sends commands to and receives replies from the CTD through the
Water Sampler)
¾ Baud rate - between Deck Unit and computer; must agree with Deck
Unit dip switch setting (4800, 9600, or 19200)
¾ Parity and data bits – between Deck Unit and computer; must agree
with Deck Unit setting (7 or 8 data bits, even or no parity)
• SBE 19, 19plus, 25, or 49 with PDIM and 36 Deck Unit–
¾ COM port - connected to Deck Unit Serial Data connector (sends
commands to and receives replies from the CTD through the PDIM)
¾ Baud rate - between Deck Unit and computer; must agree with Deck
Unit dip switch setting (9600 or 19200)
¾ Parity and data bits – between Deck Unit and computer; must agree
with Deck Unit setting (7 or 8 data bits, even or no parity)
• SBE 16, 16plus, 19, 19plus, 25, 45, or 49 connected directly to
computer –
¾ COM port - connected to instrument
¾ Baud rate - between instrument and computer; must agree with
instrument setup (user-programmed)
¾ Parity and data bits – between instrument and computer; must agree
with instrument setting
(SBE 16, 19, or 25: 7 data bits, even parity;
SBE 16plus, 19plus, 45, or 49: 8 data bits, no parity)
• SBE 21 with Interface Box –
¾ COM port - connected to Interface Box RS-232C connector
¾ Baud rate - between Interface Box and computer; must be greater
than or equal to baud rate between SBE 21 and Interface Box, and
must agree with Interface Box setup (user-programmed to 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200)
¾ Parity and data bits – between SBE 21 and Interface Box and between
Interface Box and computer; must agree with SBE 21 and Interface
Box setting (user-programmed to 7 data bits, even parity)
• SBE 45 with optional Interface Box –
¾ COM port - connected to Interface Box PC connector
¾ Baud rate - between Interface Box and computer; must agree with
Interface Box and SBE 45 setup (user-programmed to 4800, 9600, or
19200 in both Interface Box and in SBE 45)
¾ Parity and data bits – between SBE 45 and Interface Box and between
Interface Box and computer ; must agree with SBE 45 and Interface
Box setting (8 data bits, no parity)
