Typically this will be used to +guess / detect the baudrate used in a UART communication snippet, but it +could also be used to guess bitrates of certain other protocols or buses. + +It should be noted that this is nothing more than a simple guess / heuristic, +and that there are various cases in practice where the detection of the +bitrate or baudrate will not necessarily have the expected result. + +The precision of the estimated bitrate / baudrate will also depend on the +samplerate used to sample the respective probe. For good results it is +recommended to use a logic analyzer samplerate that is much higher than +the expected bitrate/baudrate that might be used on the probe. +''' + +from .pd import * + |
