[. . . ] The parallel method is faster but more complicated, while the serial method is slower and requires less complicated equipment. Serial data transmission uses time-division methods over a single line. Using a single line also offers the advantage of reducing the number of errors due to line noise. Only 3 lines are required theoretically for control of the transceiver via the computer: · Transmit data · Receive data · Ground From a practical standpoint, it is also necessary to incorporate some means of controlling when this data transfer will occur.
