Specifies the number of bits in the bytes transmitted and received.
Remarks
Following restrictions apply to the values specified for the Data Bits and Stop Bits members:
The number of data bits must be 5 to 8 bits.
The use of 5 data bits with 2 stop bits is an invalid combination, as is 6, 7, or 8 data bits with 1.5
stop bits.

contact the manufacturer.
