Editing Character interval

'''Character interval''': In a [[communications system]], the total number of unit intervals required to transmit any given [[character (computing)|character]], including [[synchronizing]], [[information]], [[error checking]], or [[control character]]s, but not including signals that are not associated with individual characters. 

An example of a [[time]] interval that is excluded when determining character interval is any time added between the end of a [[stop signal]] and the beginning of the next [[start signal]] to accommodate changing [[transmission (telecommunications)|transmission]] conditions, such as a change in [[data signaling rate]] or [[Buffer (telecommunication)|buffering]] requirements. This added time is defined as a part of the [[intercharacter interval]].
