Editing Self-clocking signal (section)

==Isochronicity and anisochronicity==
If a clock signal is embedded in the data transmission, there are two possibilities: the clock signals are sent at the same time as the data ([[isochronous]]), or at a different time ([[anisochronous]]).

===Isochronous self-clocking signals===
If the embedded clock signal is isochronous, it gets sent simultaneously with the data. Below is an example signal, in this case using the [[Manchester code]] self-clocking signal. The data and clock cycles can be thought of as "adding up" to a combination, where both the clock cycle and the data can be retrieved from the transmitted signal.

===Asynchronous self-clocking signals===
Asynchronous self-clocking signals do not combine clock cycles and data transfer into one continuous signal. Instead, the transmission of clock cycles and data transmission is modulated. Below is an example signal used in [[asynchronous serial communication]], where it is made clear that the information about the clock speed is transmitted in a different timeframe than the actual data.
