Character

A character is the basic unit of information processed by Docklight. Docklight always uses 8 bit characters. Nevertheless, the communication settings also allow data transmission with 7 bits or less. In this case, only a subset of the 256 possible 8 bit characters will be used but the characters will still be stored and processed using an 8 bit format.
