Hi Jeff,
Here are a couple more comments on the version 2.0 manual, the
SEROUT/SERIN section.
--- Table 5.72 and table 5.81. Huh? Isn't the baud rate determined
by bits 0-12, not bits 0-11? The minimum baud rates are then.
BS2 & BS2e & BS2Pe: 122 baud to 50 kbaud
BS2sx & BS2P: 304 baud to 50 kbaud
I wouldn't swear to it, but all the earlier manuals referenced bits 0-12.
--- I am puzzled about the "baud limit with flow control" in table
5.79? That hasn't been in previous documentation. I was sure flow
control would work at any baud rate, between stamps of the same speed.
--- Re The timeout parameter: to get a timeout of N milliseconds the
timeout parameter has to be N+1. E.g., to get a timeout of 1
millisecond use timeout parameter=2. It can be a bug if the timeout
parameter is 0 or 1.
