FT260 - UART communication

Hello,
I have a FT260 chip in my project (connected via USB to a computer with widnows ), I would like to send it via uart interface, HID reports. but i don't know what are the UART settings (baud rate etc). Could you please tell me how to send hid reports by uart?
The diagrams I use, are taken from the datasheet.

Hello Adam   
You should look at section 5.3 (page 22 & 23) of the data sheet for your part.   Baud rate settings etc are dependant on the operating clock frequency of your application.   

Thanks

Thanks for the answer but, i don't know which frequency is currently set. I describe my case:
I want to connect FT260 to computer and start sending HID reports (ft260 receives reports form uC by UART interface). I want to use FT260 without any external applications in widnows. Can you tell me whether it is possible?  How can I set uart settings in ft260?

FTDI Community:
Hello,

FT260 must be used with either LibFT260 or by accessing raw HID class commands using an application running on a PC.

AN_394 User Guide for FT260 and AN_395 User Guide for LibFT260 cover both of those scenarios.
Code examples are provided with the LibFT260 library.
If you take a look at AN_395, FT260_UART_SetBaudRate API can be used to set the baud rate.

Best Regards,

So,
if I understand correctly, I need to have the PC application running all the time to be able to send HID reports? It is not possible to just connect FT260 and start sending data (via UART or I2C)? There is another chip that can work without app?
