I don't know what they mean by Asynchron 16 but the rest ins quite normal. For Parity "gerade" means even. "Sperrschritt" is Stop Bits. So you have: 7 bit even parity one stop bit. It's possible that the 16 refers to baud rate. Is there a table of any kind in the manual? Is it big? Could you provide a scan? bill KB3YV (formerly DA1WO)
