B
AUD RATE
The baud rate is set by the software application. Each port is compatible to a normal PC COM-port and should
be accessed accordingly. Operating systems and standard software applications have utilities for that.
For more sophisticated programming and specific control of handshake signals, please refer to a 16C550
manual. This manual can be ordered from a National Semiconductor representative.
