NOTE

Most ION devices use the 8N1 standard (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) for serial communications. To

prevent communication errors, make sure all the devices on your serial communications loop are set to

8N1 (i.e. make sure the devices serial communications parameter is set to No parity).
