At the low speed rate of 12.5 kilobits per second, a 32 bit word takes

  • A.400 microseconds
  • B.2.56 milliseconds
  • C.256 microseconds
  • D.25.6 milliseconds

Answer: B

Correct answer: 2.56 milliseconds

Transmission time is the number of bits divided by the rate:

\[ t = \frac{32}{12\,500} = 2.56 \times 10^{-3}\ \mathrm{s} = 2.56\ \mathrm{ms} \]

At the high-speed rate of 100 kbit/s the same word takes 320 microseconds, eight times less. The low-speed rate is retained for parameters that change slowly - fuel quantity, configuration discretes - where the update interval matters more than the latency, and it uses less bandwidth per source.
