set-baud Command

The set-baud BASIC program sets the baud rate for the current port or for another port.

Syntax (all platforms)

set-baud {port.number{,rate,parity, stop.bits,word.len}}

Syntax (For Windows- Not Supported)

set-baud {tty{,rate,{parity,stop.bits,word.len}}}

Parameter(s)

port.number

Serial port to change. If the port number is not specified, the baud rate is set on the current port. A -1 can also be specified to indicate the current port.

The baud rate can be one of these supported baud rates: 110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200. The default baud rate for each port is 9600.

For UNIX: The port number can be specified either by a number or by a device name, such as /dev/tty3, in which case the port does not have to be connected to the D3 virtual machine. /dev/ can be omitted. This command is provided for compatibility with non-UNIX implementations.

For Windows: Supports the serial port number specified.

word.len

Data length, which can be any number between 5 and 8, inclusive.

For UNIX: If no UNIX process is connected to the device, set-baud displays:

Process not connected.

In this case, the device is probably not initialized properly or not connected to a physical terminal. The form with a tty name, instead of a port number, should then be used.

For Windows: Supports the specified port number and data length.

parity

Data parity. Note that there is no mark or space parity supported. These values are permitted:

0 or n

Indicates no parity.

1 or o

Indicates odd parity.

2 or e

Indicates even parity.

stop.bits

Number of data stop bits, which can be 0, 1, or 2.

WARNING

For UNIX: The UNIX stty command can be used to change the port setting, except for the current port.

For Windows: The stty command is not supported.
