synchronous A mode of
operation or transmission in
which a continuous data stream
is generated without intervals
between characters. The data
stream is synchronized by clock
signals at the receiver and
transmitter. As a result, fast
transmission speeds (above
9600 bps) are attainable.
SYSGEN The software program
that allows you to configure the
operating system on HP 3000
Series 900 computers.
system configuration The
