Term:
asynchronous
Definition:
A data transmission method in which each character is sent
one bit at a time. Each character has a start and stop bit
to synchronize signals between the sending device and
receiving device. This allows a character to be sent at
random after the preceding character has been sent. See
also synchronous.
