Baudot the inventor ot the Baudot telegraph code At slow speeds only one bit of information 19 encoded in each electrical 'change. The baud rate therefore indicates the number of bits per second that are transmitted. FOr example baud rate of 300 means that 300 bits are transmitted each second (abbreviated 300 bps) Assuming asynchronous communic: ation, which requires 10 bits par character, this translates to 30 characters per second (cps) For slow rates (below 200 baud) you can divide the baud rate by 10 to see how many characters per second are sent Booeohhk indic ates
