A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Choose an option to select the parity type according to host device requirements.
Odd - This sets the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an odd number of 1 bits.
Even - This sets the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an even number of 1 bits.
