Asünkroonsetel

Asünkroonsetel refers to asynchronous transmission in telecommunications and computer networking. In this method, data is sent in discrete blocks or characters, and each block is preceded by a start bit and followed by one or more stop bits. These start and stop bits act as signals to the receiving device, indicating the beginning and end of each data unit. Unlike synchronous transmission, which relies on a continuous stream of data synchronized by a clock signal, asynchronous transmission does not require a shared clock between the sender and receiver. This makes it simpler to implement and less prone to timing errors over longer distances or with less precise equipment. The start bit alerts the receiver to the arrival of data, and the stop bit signals its completion, allowing the receiver to prepare for the next incoming bit. This method is commonly used in serial communication protocols like RS-232, which is often found in older computer peripherals and industrial equipment. The timing of each bit within the data block is still important, but the overall timing between blocks is not strictly controlled, hence the term "asynchronous."
