This is the number of bits in a word, without stop, start, or parity bits.
Number of bits in a binary word or data type. See also binary word, bit, data type
The sampling rate determines how often an analog wave is sampled; the word length determines the resolution of the sample. The larger the word length, the more accurate the sample as a whole. A 16-bit word length (CD) allows 65,536 different level or volume steps that can be chosen for each sample.
The number of bits in a word. In a programmable controller, unless stated otherwise, a word has 16 data bits.
The number of data bits in a byte, usually seven or eight. FTS serial products allow you to select the word length to match that of the circuit under test.
Sometimes referred to as data bits, this determines the number of bits used to convey each character transmitted.
The total number of bits which are recognised as comprising a unit of data transfer, a word. This need not be the same as the word length within the computer; extra formatting bits are added during data transfer (e.g. stop bits, start bits, parity).
