`synchronoustransmission
`
`synchronous transmission A trans-
`mission method that uses a clock signal to
`regulate data flow.
`
`In synchronous transmissions, frames are
`separated by equal-sized timeintervals.
`Timing must be controlled precisely on the
`sending and the receiving computers. Spe-
`cial characters are embeddedin the data
`stream to begin synchronization and to
`maintain synchronization during the trans-
`mission, allowing both computers to check
`for and correct any variationsin timing.
`
`See also asynchronous transmission.
`
`syntax The formal rules of grammar as
`they apply to a specific programming
`language or operating system command;
`in particular, the exact sequence and
`spelling of commandelements required for
`the commandto beinterpreted correctly.
`
`syntax error Anerror in the useofa pro-
`gramming language or operating system
`commandsyntax, such as misspelling a key-
`word or omitting a required space.
