The important parameters to set for any serialconnectivity software is to set the line delay to be 500 milliseconds and the character delay to be50 milliseconds. For example, using Hyper Terminal this can be set under File Æ Properties andwhen the Properties sheet is open, click on the ASCII Setup button and in the Line Delay entrybox enter in 500 and in the Character Delay entry box enter in 50 as shown below.F IGURE 139 – Optimizing serial connection (shown for Hyper Terminal on Windows XP).
