Temporal process of communication
Both beginning and end of a data block are characterized by transmission pauses. Between 2 successive
characters, a maximum period of 3.5 times the character transmission time may elapse. The character
transmission time (time required for the transmission of one character) is dependent on the Baud rate
and the data format used.
Hence, in the case of a data format of 8 data bits, no parity bit, and one stop bit, the transmission time is
calculated as follows:
Character transmission time [ms] = 1000 * 10 bits / Baud rate
And with the other data formats:
Character transmission time [ms] = 1000 * 11 bits / Baud rate
