About
skew
1. In
parallel transmission, the difference in arrival
time of bits transmitted at the same time. (
188 )
2. For
data recorded on
multichannel magnetic tape, the difference between
reading times of bits recorded in a single transverse
line. (
188 )
Note: Skew is usually interpreted to mean the difference in reading times between bits recorded on the tracks at the extremities,
i.e., edges, of the tape.
3. In
facsimile systems, the angular deviation of the received frame from rectangularity caused by asynchronism between the
scanner and the recorder.
Note: Skew is expressed numerically as the tangent of the deviation angle. (
188 )
4. In facsimile, the angle between the
scanning line, or recording line, and the perpendicular to the paper
path.
