Baud Rates Supported by 843x Serial Hardware

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-Serial
Primary Software Version: 3.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Serial>>RS-485>>PCI-8431/2, Serial>>RS-485>>PCI-8431/4, Serial>>RS-485>>PCI-8431/8, Serial>>RS-485>>PCI-8433/2, Serial>>RS-485>>PCI-8433/4

Problem:
I am looking at the product page for my NI PCI/PXI 843x device, and it lists the maximum baud rate as 3Mb/s. However, the User Manual/Specifications document for this devices claims that the maximum baud rate is only 2Mb/s. Which resource is correct?

Solution:
The limits specified in these locations were each accurate at the time the document was produced. Over time, the efficency of the NI-Serial driver has been improved to allow for faster baud rates to be utilized with the 843x series hardware.

The actual maximum speed is determined by the version of NI-Serial which is being used. For further information about the maximum speed for any NI Serial Interface, please refer to the README file which is available from the NI-Serial download page.
