asynchronous transmission
Technical computing term for data transmission where timing is not synchronized by a shared clock signal; each unit of data is sent with start and stop bits.
In asynchronous transmission, start and stop bits are added before and after the data.
Synchronous transmission, where data is sent in a continuous stream synchronized by a clock signal, unlike the start-stop method of 非同期式伝送.
Compound of 非 (non-), 同期 (synchronization), 式 (method), and 伝送 (transmission). A straightforward technical term formed from standard Sino-Japanese components.
