If you have a fast machine, setting a high value will give you more time for multi-tasking operations. • Transmit Buffer - These settings allow the selection of a transmitter FIFO trigger setting. Selecting a low value will send fewer data-bytes per interrupt, and this is recommended if you are communicating to a slower machine. Selecting a high value will send more data-bytes per interrupt, and will give more time for multi-tasking operations. 2. Defaults - When clicked this button re
