Selects serial port transmission speed. The speed must be matched on the other side.
Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds.

Data Bits
Parity
A Parity bit can be sent with the data bits to detect some transmission errors.
Even : parity bit is 0 if the num of 1's in the data bits is even.
Odd : parity bit is 0 if the num of 1's in the data bits is odd.
Mark: parity bit is always 1.
Space: Parity bit is always 0
Mark and Space Parity do not allow for error detection. They can be used as an
additional data bit.
Stop Bits
Stop bits indicate the end of a serial data packet. (A start bit indicates the beginning).
The standard setting is 1 stop bit. Communication with slow devices may.
