this is the problem i'm facing, I sent in a signal through the rs232 cable into my laptop and to my dismay the realterm displayed a totally different signal.
I know this have something to do with the start bit, stop bit ,parity bit and the baud rate. But the problem is that i don't really get how the realterm program works and thus unable to remedy the problem. where can i find a manual or anything that will allow me to better understand this program.
anyway just for your info
the signal i generated is
11111111 01010101 00000000
when i check the databit -- >(7 bit)

the realterm program displayed
00000000 01010101 00000000
and at 6 bit it display
00000000 00010101 00000000
i'm sorry if i'm too vague , but i do appreciate your time and help
