Editing Intercharacter interval (section)

{{Short description|Time interval telecommunications technique}}
In [[telecommunications]], the '''intercharacter interval''' is the [[time]] interval between the end of the [[stop signal]] of one [[character (computing)|character]] and the beginning of the [[start signal]] of the next character of an [[asynchronous communication|asynchronous transmission]].  

The intercharacter interval may be of any duration. The signal sense of the intercharacter interval is always the same as the sense of the stop element, ''i.e.'', "1" or "[[mark (computing)|mark]]."
