How can I change the serial interface data bits from 8 to 7 ?

Question

I have an application which requires me to be able to set all of the serial interface parameters (ie. data bits, baud rate, parity, stop bits) to values I require.

I cannot locate the data bit parameter in the manual or using XCTU? Can it be modified?

Thanks in advance,

Marcel..

Answer 1

A pair of XLR Pro's , Part # XL9-UA ...Marcel

There is no data bits option on this product.  You need to adjust the parity bit and stop bits to get what you want.

I was able to resolve my problem , thanks for the help!
For others who may have this question, in my application the data going into and out of the serial connectors is hard coded for 7 data bits , odd parity , 1 stop bit.

For the pair of modems to transfer the data in a format I could use I had to configure the modems for parity = none, stop bit =1.

Would be much simpler if Digi included the option to set # of data bits (7 or 8) in a future firmware release.

Thanks again for the help.

Which radio are you working with? Not all of the radios support different data bits and parity bits.
