Definition of "Hand-Shake" |
The interchange of signals between a 'talker' and a 'listener' to exchange data on a bus. During a Handshake a listener [slave] indicates ready for data, a talker [master] indicates data ready, the slave then indicates data received. Read more on the Handshaking Protocol. Handshaking is normally used when interfacing to peripherals that communicate at different speeds, or transfer data at different rates. Handshaking allows the devices to communicate at the same rate, as determined by the speed of the mutual handshake. / In information technology, telecommunication, and related fields, handshaking is an automated process of negotiation that dynamically sets parameters of a communications channel established between two entities before normal communication over the channel begins. It follows the physical establishment of the channel and precedes normal information transfer. / The period required to complete one cycle of an operation; or to complete a function, job, or task from start to finish. Cycle time is used in differentiating total duration of a process from its run time. |
