baudrate 76800

Try this

     m_hPort := CreateFile(PChar(sP),
                        GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE,
                        0, nil,
                  OPEN_EXISTING,
                        FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
                         LongInt(0));
     if m_hPort = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE then
       begin
// error create
       end
     else
       begin
       if GetCommState(m_hPort, dcbPort) then
           begin
                 { fill in the fields of the structure }
           dcbPort.BaudRate := 76800;
           dcbPort.ByteSize := 8;  // or ...
           dcbPort.Parity := NOPARITY;
          dcbPort.StopBits := ONESTOPBIT;
         dcbPort.Flags := 0;
            { flag bit fields:
            dcb_Binary, dcb_Parity, dcb_OutxCtsFlow, dcb_fOutxDsrFlow,
            dcb_fOutX, dcb_fInX, dcb_DtrFlow, dcb_RtsFlow
            }
         SetCommState(m_hPort, dcbPort);

I try this way :

dcbPort.BaudRate := 76800;

but the actual baudrate sending out from port is 2.2 Kbaud

I remember that long ago the divider for baud rate 38400 was 3.
Achieving 76800 was then impossible.
I've had little hope that maybe something was changed. :(

yes you're right. the divider is 2 for 57600 and 1 for 115200.
But looking at CBR_xx constant, there is also a CBR_128000 and CBR_256000,

how is it possible ???

I've just look at the same. Also CBR_56000.
Maybe try CBR_57600 and then CBR_56000 and watch what is going on?

today I can not test what happen when I set speed to CBR_56000, I will do tomorrow in office. Do you have another suggestion ?

PS : I already try CBR_57600 and CBR_115200 and it's OK. I've measured the bitlength using a digital oscilloscope and the timing is correct.

I've tested function
    SetCommState(m_hPort, dcbPort);
giving
  dcbPort.BaudRate
from 100 to 256000 with step 100
For baud rates listed below the result is OK for other there is error 87 - invalid parameter and the value of baud rate remains such as last succesfull setting.

How about 76800 ??? is it OK ???

You mean others from your list are not OK, right ???

Yes I think so. Thanks a lot.
