Teletypewriter Code Group

Teletypewriter Code Group refers to a set of characters or symbols used in teletypewriter (TTY) communication. These code groups are used to represent letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters in TTY transmissions.

In the supply class Teletype And Facsimile Equipment, which belongs to the supply group Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment, the Teletypewriter Code Group is an important component. It ensures that the TTY equipment can accurately transmit and receive messages using the appropriate code group.

The specific code group used in TTY communication can vary depending on the system or standard being used. Some common examples include the Baudot code, ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), and EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code).

These code groups allow TTY equipment to convert typed characters into electrical signals for transmission over communication lines. On the receiving end, the signals are decoded back into characters, allowing the recipient to read the message.

Overall, the Teletypewriter Code Group is a crucial aspect of Teletype and Facsimile Equipment, enabling efficient and accurate communication through TTY systems.
