Sperrschritt is the stop bit, for the rest Google translate did quite well
;)
Operations mode: Asynchronous 16
Character length: 7 bit (with stop bit)
Parity: even
stop bit length: 1 bit
I have no idea what Asynchronous 16 could be, maybe a hint at the higher
level protocol?

Hello friends. I need a translation from a German
manual describing serial
port parameters. I used google translate but it doesn't quite give me the
warm and fuzzy. Anyone here speak German? Here is what it says:
Betriebsart: Asynchron 16
Zeichenl?nge: 7 bit (mit Sperrschritt)
Parity: gerade
L?nge Sperrschritt: 1 bit
Google says:
Operating mode: Asynchronous 16
Character length: 7 bit (with blocking step)
Parity: straight
Length of blocking step: 1 bit
First, anyone have any idea what Asynchronous 16 means? (async I get, but
"16"?)
7 bit with blocking step. Could this mean 7 bit with stop bit?
Parity: straight. Could this mean odd or even?
Length of blocking step. Could this be number of stop bits?
I am attempting to translate some pages in this manual and would like to
get this right (for others who may find this info useful).
Thank you!!! (or should I say Danke?!)

PS. This is for an HF antenna coupler that can be controlled over a serial
port.
