What Is This Tool?
This converter changes values from T0 (B8ZS payload), which denotes a raw T-carrier bitstream encoded using Bipolar with 8-Zero Substitution, into bit/second [b/s], the fundamental unit measuring data transfer rate. It helps translate telephony/data channel bitstreams into standard communication speed units.
