German Translation, Serial Port?

[Rico Pajarola]

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?
