>Not having a go at you personally David, buy why is it that people >talk about bandwidth when they mean data rate? Bandwidth is >measured in Hz. This is like the baudrate argument. A 56K modem has a 56K bit rate but = the actual baudrate is much slower. The term baud is the actual number = of state transitions on the line per second, but by having a suitable = number of states you can transmit several bits in one state change. The = correlation between bandwidth and data rate gets to be a similar = argument. Ducks and waits while pondering if tins of squashy tomatoes per second = is can-rate or can-width. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: "[PIC]:","[SX]:","[AVR]:" =uP ONLY!
