7.6 Serial
Set the Serial communication parameters as shown in Section 6.4.5 Remote Application. The serial com-
munication port allows the CPC6050 to communicate in RS-232 format with computers, terminals, PDAs,
or similar hosts.
These parameters should be set to match your host computer. Default settings are: 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no echo.
If echo is ON, the CPC6050 will immediately echo back characters sent over the serial port. The Serial

outs are shown in the following illustration.
