3. Difference 
Summary 
This section summarizes the differences between the DART 200 and DART 300 in several main 
categories: 
• 
Interfaces 
• 
Operation 
• 
Additional Control Considerations 
•

3.1.1. 
Serial Interface Specifications 
The DART 300 supports a broader range of data rates (up to 57600 bps) but does not support 
autobaud rate detection as the DART 200 did.  The DART 300 also restricts the port 
characteristics to 8 data bits and no parity. 
The DART 300 requires the use of DTR and hardware flow control to communicate in data state.  
This will require specialized cabling if the host device does not support these features.  Doing this 
could be as simple as connecting DTR, RTS, or both, to DSR on the DART 300 end of the cable 
to provide the needed signals. 
Be aware that circumventing hardware flow control in this way makes data overruns a possibility.
