Description
The BAUDRATE command changes the baud rate of the spectrum analyzer to one of the
standard baud rates. The standard baud rates are as follows: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
14400, 19200, 38400, and 57600. If you specify a baud rate other than one of the standard
baud rates, the nearest standard baud rate will be used.
XBAUDRATE
To communicate with the computer, the baud rates of the spectrum analyzer and the computer
must be the same. Because changing the baud rate of the spectrum analyzer within a
program ends communication with the computer, you should only use BAUDRATE within a
downloadable program or when using the external keyboard to enter programming commands.
To reestablish communication with the computer, you must set the baud rate back to the baud
rate of the computer.
