ASCII Table and Description

            ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort. ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for their original purpose. Below is the ASCII character table and this includes descriptions of the first 32 non-printing characters. ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure. If someone says they want your CV however in ASCII format, all this means is they want 'plain' text with no formatting such as tabs, bold or underscoring - the raw format that any computer can understand. This is usually so they can easily import the file into their own applications without issues. Notepad.exe creates ASCII text, or in MS Word you can save a file as 'text only'

What is the term Multiplexing in data transmission ?

  Multiplexing is the technique of combining multiple signals into a single signal for transmission over a communication channel. In data transmission, multiplexing allows multiple users to share a single communication channel, maximizing its use and increasing efficiency. There are several types of multiplexing used in data transmission, including: Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): This technique divides the available frequency range into multiple non-overlapping sub-channels, each of which can be used by a separate signal. Each signal is modulated onto a separate carrier frequency and combined into a single composite signal for transmission. FDM is commonly used in analog systems, such as radio and television broadcasting. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): This technique divides the available time into multiple time slots, with each slot dedicated to a separate signal. Each signal is transmitted in its designated time slot, and the signals are interleaved in time to create a...
