for communication between a transmitter and receiver, indicating the

number of bit transfers per second. A higher baud rate will reduce the

distance of the two devices (transmitter and receiver).

Data Bits:

Either 7 or 8. It is a measurement of the actual data bits in a

transmission. By default, the value is 8.

Parity Bit:

Choose from No, Even, and Odd. This is a simple form of error checking

used in serial communication and you may use no parity. For even and

odd parities, the serial port sets the parity bit (the last bit after the data

bits) to a value to ensure that the transmission has an even or odd

number of logic-high bits.

For example, if the data is 011, for even parity, the parity bit is 0 to keep

the number of logic-high bits even. If the parity is odd, the parity bit is 1,

resulting in 3 logic-high bits.

Stop Bit:

Either 1 or 2. It is used to signal the end of communication for a single

packet. The more bits used for stop bits, the greater the lenience in

synchronizing the different clocks but the slower the data transmission

rate. In default mode, the value is 1.
