ASCII Standard

ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information

Interchange. This is a 7 bit code but the full ASCII code is normally used as
an 8 bit word, either in parallel or serial form. The last of these 8 bits is
reserved for a parity, or error testing, bit. This code provides a standard
means of representing data and is essential in enabling data transfer between
services and equipment.
