Data transfer rate
December 2001
The data transfer rate is given in bits per second.
Common transfer rates are:
110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19 200, 38 400, 57 600 and
115 200 bps

For example, a transfer rate of 19 200 bps will have a bit duration of

Example:
With a transmission format of one start bit, 7 data bits, two stop bits and a data
transfer rate of 300 bps, exactly 30 characters per second will be transmitted.
