Dutch term or phrase: serieel uitlezen
Example sentence1 : "De communicatie unit is in staat het EVHI serieel uit te lezen, met bijvoorbeeld het NEN EN IEC 62056-21 protocol".

Example sentence 2: "Ingang 1 van de communicatie unit kan seriële de stand van de gasmeter uitlezen"

This is equipment used for monitoring gas meters and the document concerns the technical and functional requirements of this equipment.


Can you say that a device reads data "in series"? Or do they mean "....can read serial data from... "?

Thanks

agree  bertvandermoer: If you have data consisting of 8 bits you can transmit them all at the same time if you have 8 wires, thats called parallel. If you have one wire you must send the bits one by one, thats called serial datatransfer. Reading data serially is better.

  -> True. Serial is faster. And that seems counter-intuitive. Parallel was initially an improvement, but eventually serial regained superiority due to timing issues... Thanks, Bert.
