Synchronous character do not have start/stop bits and are sent without
spaces between characters. Voids between data characters are filled by
predetermined sync characters which are discarded by the receiver.
The data portion of the serial character usually contains 5 to 8 bits and is
transmitted least significant bit first. Today most of the computers and
terminals use the 7 bit ASCII code to represent numbers and characters.
Figure A-7 shows how the ASCII "1" is transmitted. Compare the binary
code in Figure A-7 against the hex code for an ASCII '1' (HEX 31) and they
will be the same. Binary data is usually sent in binary form as single 8 bit
characters or in hex form as a pair of the ASCII characters, 0 through 9 and
A through F. Each Hex character represents 4 binary bits so two Hex
characters are needed for each 8 bit binary byte.
Parity bits are added after the data field if the user wants to detect
transmission errors. When parity bits are used, the transmitter counts the
number of high bits in the data field and makes the parity bit a 1 or 0 so the
final count will be either even or odd. The receiver then validates the
received characters by counting 1's in the data and parity bit fields. The
2303 detects parity errors along with data overrun and framing errors,
generates a Bus SRQ message for each data error and indicates the error by
setting the bit 3 in the Standard Event Status Register.
Although serial data can be transmitted over any medium, most of today's
computer systems use metallic cable. To ensure compatibility, the
manufacturers have adopted interface standards so that they are electrically
compatible. The more popular standards are:
