title: Does parity check includes start and stop bits on RS-232?
body: <p>Lets say I want to send <code>11110000</code> data with <strong>rs-232</strong>. Start bit is <code>1</code> and stop bit is <code>0</code> and I will use even parity. How does parity bit work here? Does it only check my data and becomes <code>0</code> or check whole bits and become <code>1</code>?</p>
