*BAUD ?/= Enquire / Set the baud rate of the radar. The
program is stored in non-volatile memory and is
used the next time the radar is powered on.
*BAUD =<baud>, <flow control>, <parity>,
<number of data bits>
e.g.*baud=115200,0,NONE,8
921600
Flow
Control 0
Parity ODD
Number of
data bits 8

57600,115200, 230400, 460800,
921600
Flow Control: 0=no control
