TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER FOR DATA LINK SYSTEM

摘要

A transmitter for a data communication device includes a self-configuration register, an input register and a multiplexer. The multiplexer combines information from the self-configuration register with a start bit and a data identification bit to form a configuration data packet and transmits such a packet on an optical fiber. The multiplexer also combines information stored in the input register with a start bit and a data identification bit to form a message data packet that is transmitted on the optical fiber. A cooperating receiver includes circuitry to decode the configuration and message data packets.
