Anything that you type, should appear on your monitor. If you have your software configured to "echo" the characters, then, you will see each character twice. If you are not sure if you have "echo-on", then start typing, and then remove the wire from the port, and type again, and you should see the difference. If you see nothing, with or without the wire connected, then, you may have a bad port, or you may be on the wrong port.
This test will only verify that your computer and software is working properly. If you have determined that your PC's RS port is working correctly, then you need to check your cabling and need to make sure that your device is configured for the same baud rate, parity and stop-bits as your computer's serial port.
Check your device's documentation to see if it requires handshaking, or if it requires any special configuration. Preventative vs.

The RS parity bit is a crude error detection mechanism. You can use either odd parity or even parity or none at all in the diagram above a parity bit is included between the last data bit and the stop bit - Here the parity is indicated as a '1' meaning that there are an odd number of databits.
So the parity in use is odd-parity. The diagram below commonly used in microcontroller work does not use a parity bit. It simply evaluates all the data bits and for odd parity returns a logic one if there is an odd number of data bits that are set.
For even parity an even number of data bits that are set, sets the parity bit. At the receiver the parity bit is used to tell if an error occurred during transmission. You can use this in the receiver software by reading a flag in the UART module. The problem with error detection using the parity bit is that if two bits are in error then the parity check fails. This is because each error cancels the effect of the other in terms of the parity calculation. Any even number of errors causes a failure in error detection.
It won't be a problem on a bench top based system that has no critical data transfer. Over a short cable e. Normally I use no parity and there is no problem at all. For systems running over a long distance or in a noisy environment a better system should be used e. Adding a cyclic redundancy check to the data stream before and after it is sent over the RS CRCs let you check for and correct quite a few errors without re transmitting the data.
The RS stop bit merely gives a period of time before the next start bit can be transmitted. It is the opposite sense to the start bit and because of this allows the start bit to be seen i. If there was no stop bit then the last bit in the data stream would be the parity bit or data bit if parity is not active. This would change depending on the data sent so if it had the same sense as the start bit then the start bit could not be seen!
At very high baud rates the period from stop bit to start bit assuming data is being sent continuously will be very small e. This can allow the receiver to detect the start bit more easily since if there is capacitance on the line the waveforms will exhibit a CR rise fall time. Extending the time period allows more capacitive loading. However it also depends on the receiver hardware used.
Typical settings for use on the desktop e. See here for more on that. At some point you may want to make a software UART perhaps to save code space in your current design maybe you don't need the receive part - as you are just outputting variables or to use a spare pin. To create it you need the actual signal diagrams that you see at the microcontroller pin strangely these are hard to find on the web.
The following diagram shows the timed 0V and 5V bit stream at the output pin of the microcontroller. The lower diagram shows the translated signal levels at the RS output drivers which are transmitted over the serial cable. These higher levels are are generated by sending the V logic levels to a transceiver chip e. The lower waveform in the bove diagram above shows the RS signal that you would see using an oscilloscope on the output drive of a translator chip such as the MAX Note that the RS idle voltage is V,.
In the diagram above the lower waveform shows the RS voltage signal that you can expect to see at the output of the RS TX pin also the same levels on the RX pin on an oscilloscope. Handshake signals are simply a method of stopping data flowing. If some part of the system is busy it may not be able to accept more data and rather than losing it signals are used at each end of the link to tell the other end to stop transmitting data. There are two types used in RS hardware handshake and software handshake.
RS also handles noise better than many other protocols. Finally, converters such as RS to Ethernet are relatively low cost compared to similar equipment for other protocols. This makes RS relatively adaptable. For starters, it has a slower baud rate, especially over long distances, and needs to use higher voltages. More significantly for everyday use, it is just less practical to set up than USB, especially for casual computer users. From a more technical perspective, the protocol is only appropriate for system-to-system communication in the single-master-single-slave configuration.
Any communication with multiple chips or sensors on one end or with a more complex configuration will not be supported by RS Despite being replaced by USB and other protocols in many situations, RS is still heavily used today. In many applications and use cases, it can be helpful or even necessary to connect serial devices to networks using an RS to Ethernet converter, also called a device server.

It may come as a shock to some of you youngsters, but the RS serial protocol was once all the rage.
In fact, it was the most widely used communication standard in the world at one point. Today, it is pretty easy to work with computers without ever seeing this connector.
