To select RS232 parameters. - MODE
Syntax: mode device_name:[baud_rate[,parity[,word_length (
,stopbits[,retry]]]]]
This command allows you to select the conditions
for serial input and output RS232 device(s).
Device name must be specified as COM1: COM2: or
COM3:
baud_rate may be 96 for 9600 baud, 48 for 4800
baud, 24 for 2400 baud, 12 for 1200 baud, 6 for
600, 3 for 300
parity may be N for no parity, E for even parity,
or 0 for odd parity.
word_length selects how many bits there are in
each byte sent. You may select 8, 7, 6 or 5.
Stop bits selects the number of stop bits added
after each byte sent/received. Valid numbers are 1
or 2
Retry selects whether the computer would keep
trying to send characters or return an error
message when the device receiving data stops
listening. This is used for printers and should be
P for retry, blank for errors.
Example: mode com1:96,n,8,2,p
18
This sets up COM1 as a serial printer output with
9600 baud, no parity, eight bit words and two stop
bits.
