Selecting the serial parity checking scheme

4.28.5 Selecting the serial parity checking scheme

The ‘Parity’ box allows you to choose what type of parity checking is used on the serial line. The settings are:

• ‘None’: no parity bit is sent at all.
• ‘Odd’: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and arranged so that the total number of 1 bits is odd.
• ‘Even’: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and arranged so that the total number of 1 bits is even.
• ‘Mark’: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and always set to 1.
• ‘Space’: an extra parity bit is sent alongside each byte, and always set to 0.
