    APPENDIX C: Asynchronous Communications Appendix C. Asynchronous Communications In serial data communication, individual bits of a character are transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a character. Data rate, error checking, handshaking, and character framing (start/stop bits) are pre- defined and must correspond at both the transmitting and receiving ends.
