[HECnet] SC-40

Yes, but that s 8 bits total. I was referring to 7 bits, no parity, no fixed extra bit like a mark bit. paul On Feb 12, 2015, at 9:45 PM, pechter at gmail.com wrote: I saw 7 bit mark and 7 even back in my old Field Service days in the 80s...

Start with just 7 bits no parity. Try both one and two stop bits. Then move on from there. 7 bits no parity is something I ve never seen. I would start with 8 bits no parity, one stop bit unless it s 110 bps. 7 bits with parity, that does come up on a few occasions. But while I ve seen 8 and 5 and even 6 bit serial comms used, I can t think of any 7 bits in the wild. paul
