Characters Per Second - characters usually referring to a single 8-bit byte of data. With start and stop bits, a total transmission of 10 data bits is usually required to transmit a single character or data byte.
Characters per second. A measure of the rate at which data is transferred or printed by a printer.
(Characters Per Second) A measure of how quickly information, particularly text, is being transferred over a modem link or network. See also bps.
Characters per second. See Bits per second.
Actual data transfer rates are often expressed in terms of Characters Per Second. In most situations there are usually 10 bits per character (or Byte) because there are two extra bits - one start and one stop bit, added to the eight data bits per character. In most cases therefore, the data transfer rate in CPS is equal to the effective bit rate in BPS divides by 10.

Current Population Survey. These monthly interviews are conducted by the Bureau of the Census with a scientifically selected sample of households in several hundred sample areas throughout the United States. The primary purpose of the CPS is to collect up-to-date information about the number of persons in the country who are employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force in a specific survey week. The CPS is the source of the official monthly unemployment rate figures. CPS questions included in the NLSY97 surveys are the same as the CPS questions used to determine employment status and are administered as closely as possible to the method used by the Bureau of Census so that findings are comparable.

Cycles Per Second - See Hertz (Hz).
Cycles Per Second (as in measuring brain wave activity)
Child Protective Services. Refer to CPS for definition.
Characters per second (cps) is the measurement of how fast a printer can print a document or how fast a communications device can send information.
Characters per second. A data transfer rate generally estimated from the bit rate and the character length. For example, at 2400 bps, 8-bit characters with start/stop bits (for a total of ten bits per character) will be transmitted at a rate of approximately 240 characters per second (CPS). Some protocols, such as error-control protocols, employ advanced techniques such as longer transmission frames and data compression to increase CPS.
Abbreviation for cycles per second. This term has been replace by hertz is common usage.
Characters Per Second. CPS refers to the printing speed of a printer, specifically, the number of characters the printer can print per second.
Current Population Survey. The CPS is a national monthly household survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census to gather various information including health insurance status on the noninstitutionalized U.S. population.
