    All characters should be coded to 7- or 8-bit code for data transmission. The standard data exchange code of the PDT 1100 is 7- or 8-bit code. The transmission bit order is LSB (Least Significant Bit) first. Following is an example for transmitting character A (41h, 01000001b) coded to 8-level code with an even parity and a single bit for start and stop bits.
