a high-speed data transfer in which the address of the data is sent followed
by back-to-back data words while a physical signal is asserted
the group of conductors that interconnect individual circuitry in a computer.
Typically, a bus is the expansion vehicle to which I/O or other devices are
connected. Examples of PC buses are the AT bus, NuBus, Micro Channel,
and EISA bus.
a type of a plug-in board or controller with the ability to read and write

pin or wire lead to which you apply or from which you read the analog or
digital signal. Analog signals can be single-ended or differential. For digital
signals, you group channels to form ports. Ports usually consist of either
four or eight digital channels.
