Bus A set of interconnections that interface one or more devices based on a standardized specification. Bus arbitration The process that prevents two sources from using a bus at the same time. Bus contention An adverse condition that could occur if two or more devices try to communicate at the same time on a bus. Controller An instrument that can specify each of the other instruments on the bus as either a talker or a listener for the purpose of data transfer. DCE Data communications equipment.
