Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning). The standard
setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may require more than 1 stop bit.
Options available: 1/2.
Flow Control
Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are
full, a 'stop' signal can be sent to stop the data ow. Once the buffers are empty, a 'start' signal can be
sent to re-start the ow. Hardware ow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals.
