Title: SETBAUD command
Post by: Allan on June 20, 2002, 11:43:08 AM

Hi

The TBasic reference manual (Part 2)  page 4-17 gives an example on how to change the baud rate on Comm 3 to 9600 as:

BAUDRATE 3,3

To change to another baud rate we are referred to the PLC User manual to find the  baud_nos that represents other baud rates

Looking at User's Manual p1-16 the baud_no is presented in 4 bit binary form rather than decimal.  Do I simply just convert to decimal.  For example if I wanted to set Comm 3 baud rate to 19200 the would the command be:

BAUDRATE 3,4  ?

That's right. SETBAUD 3,4 will change the baud rate to 19,200. The upper 4 bits are used for determining the comm format such as number of  data bits, number of stop bits,  and use of parity.
