A uniform discipline, using a defined set of control characters and control character sequences, for synchronized transmission of binary coded data between stations in a data communications system. Also called BISYNC.
Rules developed by IBM for the synchronous transmission of binary coded data as a serial stream of binary digits. Synchronization is achieved by using control characters recognizable as bit patterns which do not appear within the body of the message.
