Serial ports are frequently used for long-distance
communication between computer equipment. The speed at
which data is conveyed on such a link is called the baud rate, a
figure indicating the number of bits transmitted per second.
Unfortunately, in practice there are often gross differences
between the programmed and the actually achieved data
speed. The circuit described here measures the actual speed of
RS232 data.
