88A parity bit is simple way of detecting transmission errors.
99The transmitters and receivers can only transmit and receive _ exactly_ eight bits at a time (including the parity bit).
10- The parity bit is set so that there is an _ even_ number of 1s in each transmission, and the parity bit is always the first bit from the right.
10+ The parity bit is set so that there is an _ even_ number of 1 bits in each transmission, and the parity bit is always the first bit from the right.
1111So if the receiver receives ` 11000001 ` , ` 01110101 ` or ` 01000000 ` (i.e. a transmission with an odd number of 1 bits), it knows there is an error.

1313However, messages are rarely this short, and need to be transmitted in a sequence when they are longer.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
