2.2.6 Setting the RS232 Communication Parameters
In order for the RS-232 communication to be successful, it is essential
that the communication para me ter s ar e se t cor re ctly. This is a two stage
process: the PC communication port is selected via the LumaSoft Gas
software while the baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits are defined
via the Monitor.
The communication parameters necessary for the Monitor to
communicate with the LumaSoft Gas are shown below in Table 2.2.

If any interfe ring gas othe r than Water Vapour is present in the am bient
air sample, the Monitor can cross compensate for the interference
caused by its presenc e provided that a se lective optical fil ter is installed
in the Monitor to measure the concentration of the interfering gas
present.
In the Sample Information group box, see Figure 3.18, select whether
multiplexer sequences are continuous. Select Sample Continously if
you want the next multip lexer sequence immediately af ter finishing the
previous multiplexe r se quence . If Seq uen ce Int erva l is selecte d a time
