131Chapter 3. Communications Operations of the BHT3.4.2 Communications ParametersIn System Mode and user programs written in BHT-BASIC, you may set the communi-cations parameters listed below.Transmission Speed 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400,57600, or 115200 bps300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bpsOptical interface Direct-connect interfaceCommunications PortCharacter Length 8 bits 7 or 8 bitsVertical Parity None Odd, even, or noneStop Bit Length 1 bit 1 or 2 bitsIn System ModeRefer to Chapter 2, Subsection 2.5.3, [4.5], "Setting the communications environ-ments."In BHT-BASICTo set the transmission speed, character length, vertical parity, and stop bit length (Toset the transmission speed only for the optical interface), use the OPEN "COM:"statement in BHT-BASIC.OPEN "COM: ... " Opens the interface port selected in System Mode.OPEN "COM1: ... " Opens the optical interface port for data transmission,irrespective of the setting in System Mode.OPEN "COM2: ... " Opens the direct-connect interface port for data trans-mission, irrespective of the setting in System Mode.Note that it is impossible to open both the optical interface port and the direct-connectinterface port concurrently.Through the interface port opened by the OPEN "COM:" statement, the XFILEstatement transmits a designated file.
