Baud rates
The baud rate is the speed at which data is transmitted over a communication channel. In the context of serial ports, 4800 baud means the serial port can transfer a maximum of 4800 bits per second.
The following baud rates are available for selection:
- 4800 - This is only really used for legacy devices that have slower data transfer.
- 38400 - This works well for communication between the X100 and a chart plotter.
These rates control how quickly data can be sent between devices, and choosing the correct rate helps ensure smooth and reliable communication between your X100 and connected sensors.
Below shows you how to set the baud rate.
