Hello, All

I must say that English is not my first and second language. It is third.. so sometimes it really confuse me.

On TI data sheet, they wrote: A low on the RTS pins indicates the transmitter has data ready and waiting to send.. From my understanding about CTS and RTS are: two uarts, uart1 receives data, uart2 sends data. When uart1 receive FIFO has a free space, it will assert the RTS pin low, tell uart2: you can send the data to me now.(CTS and RTS are connected)
so I think RTS doesn't mean transmitter has data ready and waiting to send. it means receiver has space and waiting to be sent.

Correct my English understanding.

Thanks.
