Hi Bean;

But I believe that at 115,200 bits per second, the byte transmission rate is 11,520 bytes per second. Remember, the are 10 bit times per byte.

So the input would be sampled and transmitted 11,520 times per second.

Can a PC reliably keep up with that on a continuous streaming basis? I not certain, but I would not bet on that. Probably depends on the number of buffers in the PC's UART, and whatever else WINDOZE is doing.

If the user indeed needs (only) the absolute fastest transmission out of an SX, that can be reliably accomplished continuously at 5  megabits per second, and in bursts at 10 megabits per second. That however is well beyond most (all?) PC's ability to keep up.

Cheers,

Peter (pjv)
