USB to Serial Converter

[PETRAN]

When I use a USB to Serial converter, which are the standarized values (from the lower to the upper value) of the Baud Rate (eg:2400,4800,9600 bits/sec) that I enter as an argument in the Property Node in Labview????

I haven't used a USB to Serial Converter, but if I'm not mistaken those values depend on the instrument(s) that you are trying to communicate with. Do you have a manual for the converter or the serial device? What device are you using? What USB to Serial Converter?

The baud rate is specific of a given serial instrument.



But this is not the only parameter to be configured. You also have byte width (7 or 8), parity (even, odd, none), number of stop bits, harware protocol and so on...




Most often, the "standard" baud rate is 9600, 8 data bits, even or none parity, 1 stop bit.



You should have a notice somewhere (possibly on the web...) which explains the settings of these parameters for your instrument.
