Question 340

Which of the following describes Baudot code?

  1. A 7-bit code with start, stop, and parity bits
  2. A code using error detection and correction
  3. A 5-bit code with additional start and stop bitsCorrect answer
  4. A code using SELCAL and LISTEN

Explanation

Baudot uses five data bits per character, framed by a start bit and a stop bit for asynchronous transmission. Five bits give only 32 combinations, which is why Baudot needs LTRS and FIGS shift characters; the 7-bit code with a parity bit is ASCII.
