Flow control can prevent
data loss from buffer
overflow. When sending
data, if the receiving
buffers are full, a 'stop'
signal can be sent to
stop the data flow. Once
the buffers are empty, a
'start' signal can be sent
to re-start the flow.
Hardware flow control
uses two wires to send
start/stop signals.
Data Bits
A parity bit can be sent
with the data bits to
detect some
transmission errors.
Even: parity bit is 0 if the
num of 1's in the data
bits is even. Odd: parity
bit is 0 if num of 1's in
the data bits is odd.
Mark: parity bit is always
1. Space: Parity bit is
always 0. Mark and
Space Parity do not
allow for error
detection. They can be
used as an additional
data bit.
Stop bits indicate the
end of a serial data
packet. (A start bit
indicates the
beginning). The
standard setting is 1
stop bit. Communication
with slow devices may
require more than 1 stop
bit.
