Notes

  1. 1.

    This definition refers to synchronicity in its message sense rather than its communications sense. The relative communications definitions are Synchronous – transmission in which data bits are sent at a fixed rate with the transmitter and the receiver synchronised. Synchronised transmission eliminates the need for start and stop bits, whereas Asynchronous is a transmission in which time intervals between characters may be of unequal length, and the transmission is controlled by the addition of start and stop bits at the beginning and end of each character.

  2. 2.

    Simon O'Neill, the technical author of this chapter is happy to advise on the question of relative costs or any other technical aspect of communications and can be contacted at simon@icomms.com or +44 (0)1494 489111.
