[TenTec] RX340 Computer Control

[Mark Erbaugh]

I am writing software to control the RX340. According to the RX340 manual, configuration switch S1-5 sets the serial byte length to 7 or 8. However, it seems that the byte length is always 8 regardless of the setting, or at least my program needs to be set to 8 to work.

Has anyone else noticed this?  Admittedly, this is the first time I have ever tried to use 7 bit bytes, so I don't know if my serial port routines work properly with 7 bits.

I also tried using the Windows HyperTerminal program. It seeemed to work at either 7 or 8 bit settings regardless of the S1-5 setting.

73,
Mark
