163Barcode Handy Terminal5.4.2 Communications ParametersIn System Mode and user programs written in BHT-BASIC, you can set the communications parameterslisted below.Port IrDA Interface Connector InterfaceTransmission speed 9600, 19200, 38400,57600, 115200 or 460800* bps300, 600, 1200, 2400,4800, 9600, 19200,38400, 57600 or 115200 bpsCharacter length 8 bits 7 or 8 bitsVertical parity None Even, odd, or noneStop bit length 1 bit 1 or 2 bits* 460800bps is only possible when communicating from one BHT-500B unit to another or between theBHT-500B and CU-521 or BHT-500B and CU-511. System ModeRefer to “Chapter 4 System Operation” – “4.4.3 System Properties.” BHT-BASICTo set the transmission speed, character length, vertical parity, and stop bit length (For the IrDA interface,set the transmission speed only), use the OPEN “COM:” statement in BHT-BASIC.OPEN “COM: ... “ Opens the interface port selected in System Mode.OPEN “COM1: ... “ Opens the IrDA interface port for data transmission, irrespective of the setting inSystem Mode.OPEN “COM2: ... “ Opens the direct-connect interface port for data transmission, irrespective of thesetting in System Mode.Note that it is impossible to open both the IrDA and connector interface ports concurrently.Through the interface port opened by the OPEN “COM:” statement, the XFILE statement transmits adesignated file.
