# E15 Byte Format

### Definition

Sets the data format for Modbus RTU communication. Default: N,8,1 (No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit).

This parameter offers **four byte packet formats**:

| Option | Name                            |
| ------ | ------------------------------- |
| N.8.1  | No parity bit with 1 stop bit   |
| N.8.2  | No parity bit with 2 stop bits  |
| O.8.1  | Odd parity bit with 1 stop bit. |
| E.8.1  | Even parity bit with 1 stop bit |

The diagram below illustrates each packet format. **ST** represents the start bit, **D0–D7** are data bits, **SP** is the stop bit, **OP** indicates odd parity, and **EP** indicates even parity.\
(Each diamond shape represents one bit.)
