1.1.4 Data transfer rate
The data transfer rate of an interface is given in 'BAUD' and indicates the number of bits of data
transmitted in one second.

Common baud rates are:
110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud.
The time taken to transmit one bit (t B ) can be calculated from the baud rate:
"1"
"0"
t B
t B =
For example, a baud rate of 19,200 baud will have a bit duration of t B = 52.083 s.
The number of characters transmitted can be calculated from the baud rate and the transmission
format:
Characters per second =
Example:
With a transmission format of seven data bits, one start bit, two stop bits and a data transfer rate of
exactly 300 baud:-
300 Baud
= 30 characters per second
10 bits
will be transmitted.
