|
Select the data bits.
|
Parity
|
None/
Even/
Odd/
Mark/
Space
|
None
|
A parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some
transmission errors.
None: No parity bits are sent.
Even: Parity bit is 0 if the number of 1s in the data bits is
even.
Odd: Parity bit is 0 if the number of 1s in the data bits is
odd.
Mark: Parity bit is always 1.
Space: Parity bit is always 0.
Mark and Space parity do not allow for error detection. They
can be used as an additional data bit.
|
Stop Bits
|
01/02/11
|
1
|
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start
bit indicates the beginning of a serial data packet.) The
standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices
may require more than 1 stop bit.
|
Flow Control
|
None/
Hardware/
RTS/
CTS
|
None
|
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When
sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a “stop” signal
can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a
“start” signal can be sent to restart the flow. Hardware flow
control uses two wires to send start and stop RTS (request to
send) and CTS (clear to send) signals.
|

written with hexadecimal digits and colon separators. For
example: 2001:0db0:000:82a1:0000:0000:1234:abcd. IPv6 addresses
are composed of two parts: a 64-bit subnet prefix and a 64-bit
host interface ID. To shorten the IPv6 address, you can (1) omit
all leading zeros, and (2) replace one consecutive group of
zeros with a double colon (::). For example:
2001:db0:0:82a1::1234:abcd
