Two framing characters were added at the start of the data block and one framing character was added at the end of the data block. An 84th character, called the block parity character, was added to the end of the transmitted block. To determine if parity was met for all the characters in the block, parity was determined horizontally for the Parity row by counting the 1s in the 83 counted columns and the result was compared to the vertical parity bit for the block parity character. Error Correction In addition to having bits devoted to assisting with error detection, what means could be used to correct an error, once one was detected. The answer is normally an automatic retransmission query, known as an _____________.

Any time data is placed on a medium (magnetic or optical rotating media, and fiber cable), there is a probability of error; thus, an error detection scheme must be used. Most modern devices use a far more efficient scheme of error detection than parity checking. Though ASCII was designed for a vertical and horizontal blockchecking code, it can also be used with a cyclic redundancy check scheme that creates a check character. A CRC character is the number 8-bit check character developed by the CRC. A cyclic code divides the text bits with a binary polynomial, resulting in a check character. Checksum Any of a number of error-detection codes may be called a checksum. Many times the CRC-16 or CRC-CCITT is called a checksum; however, they are actually cyclic codes, whereas a checksum was originally designed as a linear code. The efficiency of a checksum in detecting errors is not as high as with a cyclic code, yet the circuitry to produce the checksum is less complex. Some of these codes are cyclic, some are linear, some are quasi-cyclic, and some are _____________.

Analog signals represent quantities at any value between a specified set of upper and lower limits, and the 4–20 mA signal is one of the most commonly used industrial communications standards. It is used in the two-wire current loop that connects devices in an instrument circuit. The reader needs to become familiar with the terms: voltage, current, resistance, impedance, capacitive reactance, and ______.
