SETPORT

The SETPORT command sets communications parameters of a serial port.

Format

SETPORT port {BAUD rate} {BITS bits.per.byte} {PARITY parity} {STOP.BITS stop} {BRIEF}

where

port	is the name of the port to be accessed (e.g. COM1 on Windows or /dev/cua0 on Linux, FreeBSD or AIX).

rate	is the baud rate for the port.

bits.per.byte

is the number of bits per byte (5 to 8).

parity

is the parity mode (NONE, ODD or EVEN).

stop	is the number of stop bits (1 or 2).

BRIEF

Suppresses the normal confirmation prompt

The port must not be open in the application when this command is executed.

If only port is given, the current settings of the port are reported.

On some systems, it may be necessary to change the permissions on the device driver to make it accessible to users.

Example

SETPORT COM1 BAUD 9600 BITS 7 PARITY ODD STOP.BITS 1
