Hello,

This might be a stupid question, but I am still new to this. I don't know where to post this question so I posted it here because most of my programming has been with mitsubishi products....

What is being referred to when something is said about handshaking???

Thanks,

plcdp

Handshaking is a process in where a computer and another peripheral device establish "rules" for communiciating with eachother. Like what baud rate to use, parity, and protocols. It is most commonly used with modems (When a modem picks up and you hear all the squealing that is actually a handshaking process taking place to determine what communication settings the two modems are going to use to communicate with eachother).

Handshaking is signal exchange between two pieces of equipment, in order to synchronize processes in both.

I see.

Thank you both very much.
