Asynchronous transmission:
A) is used to transmit each character simultaneously with all other characters
B) has a pre-determined, fixed time between sending characters
C) is typically used on multipoint half duplex circuits
D) uses a continuous series of start bits as an idle signal
E) is also known as start-stop transmission

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asynchronous transmission, also known as start-stop transmission, involves sending characters one at a time without a pre-determined, fixed time between sending characters. It is commonly used on point-to-point full duplex circuits, as opposed to multipoint half duplex circuits. Instead of a continuous series of start bits, a start bit is used to signal the beginning of each character.
