Stop Bits

Stop bits are transferred with the data bits so that the receiving modem will know how to separate the incoming bits into characters.

You can configure stop bits to be 1, 1.5, or 2 for serial port objects. If stop bits is 1, one stop bit is used to indicate the end of data transmission. If stop bits is 2, two stop bits are used to indicate the end of data transmission. If stop bits is 1.5, the stop bit is transferred for 150% of the normal time used to transfer one bit.
