Baud Rate
The baud rate for the Greyline Operator Workstation is switch selectable if in Program mode, and software
selectable if in Run and Bypass mode. Refer to the Greyline Universal Software Manual for a more
complete explanation for baud rates that are software selectable (Run and Bypass mode).
In Program mode, the baud rate is switch selectable, meaning that the baud rate is determined by the
position of the Dip Switch. Although the baud rate choices are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and
19200, at this time, the software only supports 9600. Therefore, after switches 1, 2, and 3 are initially set
for 9600 baud, there is no need to make future adjustments.
