1what type of interface connects a device to the system unit by transmitting data one bit at a time?
A serial port is an interface in which one bit of data is transmitted at a time.
What is a 1934 computer port for?
a 1934 port is actually a firewire port, that can be used for high speed data transfers
What is the difference between a serial port and a parallel port?
Parallel ports are easy to program and faster compared to the serial ports. But main disadvantage is it needs more number of transmission lines. Because of this reason parallel ports are not used in long distance communications. Let us know the basic difference between working of parallel port and serial port. In serial ports, there will be two data lines: One transmission and one receive line. To send a data in serial port, it has to be sent one bit after another with some extra bits like start bit, stop bit and parity bit to detect errors. But in parallel port, all the 8 bits of a byte will be sent to the port at a time and a indication will be sent in another line. There will be some data lines, some control and some handshaking lines in parallel port. If three bytes of data 01000101 10011100 10110011 is to be sent to the port, parallel port communication is faster then serial port.
How can you link RS232 serial data on COM1 to output on COM2?
Yes on a modern computer you will need a USB to 9 pin RS232 converter or previously use the LPT parallel port.
What are the examples of serial and parallel ports?
give the difference between serial port and parallel port
What is meant by serial and parallel transmission?
A serial port only allows a single bit of data through at a time. A parallel port allows multiple bits of data through at a time.
How do you redirect output to serialport?
The best way is to attach a serial port using device to the serial port of your computer and use your preferred program to send data to the device
Can You Plug A Guitar Into A Computer?
Sure, through a serial/USB port (if it's a toy) or simple audio port to record sound.
Why are keyboards connected to the serial port?
the keyboard is connected to the computer because if you want to type on the computer then the key board has to be connected with the computer other whys you won't be able to type on the computer!!! Hope I Helped You!!!
What is the difference between serial and non-serial printers?
Serial printers are connected via the serial (COM) port of the computer. "Non-serial" printers are connected through another interface, such as the parallel port, USB, ADB. FireWire, etc...
Which port is used to transmit slow data over long distances?
Serial ports
What is universal serial bus port?
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is an input/output port that allows the transfer of data from the computer's hard drive to the portable hard drive (e.g. flash drive). The port serves as the communication mechanism between the two hard drives.
What does a port do?
A port is a generic term for a way in or out of a computer. A means of tranferring data into and out of the computer. A physical port is a socket on the computer, where you can connect a data cable. A virtual port is a program area, set aside and arranged so that the data can be handled by the processor, as it arrives or leaves the computer.
1what type of interface connects a device to the system unit by transmitting data one bit at a time?
A serial port is an interface in which one bit of data is transmitted at a time.
What are the functions of a COM port?
A COM port is the serial interface on an IBM PC-compatible computer. Through this interface, communication and information transfers in or out in an efficient manner.
What devices can you connect to serial port?
A serial port can be connected to numerous devices; pretty much any device that has another serial port. Examples include: Modems, serial mice, serial printers, bar code readers, digital scales, data acquisition equipment, pumps, flow monitors, radios, etc. I have a ham radio receiver that is controlled completely through a serial port and custom software; and I am writing a custom piece of software right now that connects through the serial port to a digital scale for process automation.
Can a serial port send data over a longer distance than a parallel port?
Usually, because a serial port doesn't have to deal with the problem of signal skew that can jumble the data on a parallel port and gets worse proportional to distance.
