The condition of a computer and a peripheral device exchanging information one bit at a time along a single wire. A parallel interface is the condition of a computer and a peripheral device exchanging information eight bits at the same time along eight parallel wires.
A computer interface in which data is passed over a single line, one bit at a time. The MIDI interface is an example of a serial interface.
a digital communications interface in which data is received sequentially along a single wire or pair of wires. Common serial interface standards are RS232 and RS422.
an I / O port that transmits data 1 bit at a time (in contrast to parallel transmission, which transmits multiple bits simultaneously). RS-232C is a common serial signaling protocol.
A communications link for transporting data bit by bit.
An interface in which information is transmitted one bit at a time.
a device which converts parallel data into a serial form which may be transmitted over a two- or three-wire circuit
A digital communications interface in which data are transmitted and received sequentially along a single wire or pair of wires. Common serial interface standards are RS-232 and RS-422.
A plug and cable for a computer that sends/receives data one bit after another.
Hardware for sending and receiving data one bit at a time.
Data communications mode in which bits are sent in sequence; contrast with parallel interface
A data channel that transfers digital data in a serial fashion: one bit after the other over one wire or fiber. The serial port on a PC is a serial interface that is typically used to attach modems and data acquisition terminals. On earlier PCs, mice also used the serial port. USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) are high-speed serial interfaces that have superseded the serial port. Serial interfaces may have multiple lines, but only one line is used for data.
Relating to the electrical interconnection between the computer and peripheral units (for instance, a printer) in which data is transmitted 1 bit at a time over a single wire.
(Also called RS232C or RS422 interface) An interface that allows peripheral devices such as a mouse, modem and certain digital cameras to be connected to the computer. Data is transferred serially, which means bit by bit, one piece after another, via a connection cable.
A channel that transfers digital data in a serial fashion, one bit after the other over one wire or fiber. The serial port on a PC is a serial interface that is used to attach modems and scanners. Serial interfaces may have multiple lines, but only one is used for data. See also V.35 and X.21.
(Port s‰rie) : Interface allowing to exchange data in serial mode : in this mode one bit is exchanged at a time. On a micro computer, used for example for modem interface. To be opposed to " parallel interface".
An interface on a computer, usually COM1, where you plug in a cable for a serial printer or other serial communication device such as a modem.
An electronic connection between two devices in which digital data is transferred one bit after another, rather than several bits at a time. MIDI is a serial interface. Compare with parallel interface.
An interface between a computer and a printer, in which the computer sends single bits of information to the device, one after the other.
A standardized interface using a standardized protocol for serial data communication between a data terminal equipment (DTE) and a data communications equipment (DCE) for short distances. Data are transmitted bit after bit (serial) via a transmitter (tx) or receiver (rx) line.
