asynchronousTransferring data with the help of start and stop bits that indicate the beginning and end of each character being sent.
|
4 |
asynchronousA system of communication in which each discreet delivery of information establishes its own timing impulse rather than having to conform to the timing impulse of previous deliveries.
|
5 |
asynchronousTerm describing digital signals that are transmitted without precise clocking. Such signals generally have different frequencies and phase relationships. Asynchronous transmissions usually encapsulate individual characters in control bits (called start and stop bits) that designate the beginning and end of each character. Compare with Isochronous t [..]

asynchronousJensens Internet Dictionary A method of communication that places data in discrete blocks that are surrounded by framing bits. These bits show the beginning and ending of a block of data.

asynchronousIn video, signals are asynchronous when their timing differs one from another. Switching between asynchronous sources usually produces an undesirable flicker and momentary color shift (in NTSC). Systems within a properly designed facility are linked to a master clock and are therefore synchronous. A foreign video signal is asynchronous, but can be [..]

asynchronousliterally means not at the same time, and it is used in digital culture to indicate things like online courses where instead of all students being in the same classroom at the same time, their participation is scattered over time through things like posts that represent discussion spread over hours or days rather than talking face-to-face in the sa [..]

asynchronousType of transmission in which each character is transmitted independently without reference to a standard clock.

asynchronousAsynchronous learning is a general term used to describe forms of education, instruction, and learning that do not occur in the same place or at the same time. This means you do the work when it's convenient for you. Most of Widener University’s online courses are asynchronous in nature, though instructors may include synchronous components, s [..]

asynchronousa method of digital transmission in which there is no fixed timing. See synchronous.
|
28 |
asynchronousThis term is sometimes used to describe store and forward transmission of medical images or information because the transmission typically occurs in one direction in time. This is the opposite of synchronous (see below).

asynchronousWhen a camera system is taking images not synchronized with the framing of a camera, it is often referred to as being asynchronous. This can also mean literally any function or signal when not in sync or unison with a reference signal can be referred to as asynchronous (not in sync).

asynchronousForm of serial communication used on personal computer RS-232 ports, RS-485 and most RS-422 communications. No separate synchronizing clock signal needs to be transmitted for the data. This Non-synchronous serial communications format uses standard preset baud rates based on a crystal reference for transmit timing, and uses the received data Start [..]
|

asynchronousAsynchronous operation means that bits are not transmitted on any strict timetable. Transmitting a start bit indicates the start of each character. After the final bit of the character is transmitted, a stop bit is sent, indicating the end of the character. The sending and receiving modems must stay in synchronization only for the length of time it [..]
