an interface where bits are transmitted one after the
other. Serial interfaces require only two conductors
and can have very long transmission line lengths.
Compare to parallel interface.
the CCD element normalization process in a Nikon
scanner which compensates for different CCD
element sensitivities to light in a linear array.
