X-bits

Unassigned overhead bits. Transmitters should code these bits as zeros while receivers are required to be capable of ignoring the value contained in these bits. [T1.646-1995]

X-dimension of recorded spot

In facsimile systems, the effective recorded spot dimension measured in the direction of the recorded line.
Note 1: By "effective recorded spot dimension" is meant the largest center-to-center spacing between recorded spots, which gives minimum peak-to-peak variation of density of the recorded line.
Note 2: "X-dimension of recorded spot" implies that the facsimile equipment response to a constant density in… (Read More →)

X-dimension of scanning spot

In facsimile systems, the distance between the centers of adjacent scanning spots measured in the direction of the scanning line on the object.
Note: The numerical value of the X-dimension of scanning spot depends upon the type of system.

X.-series Recommendations

Sets of data telecommunications protocols and interfaces defined by CCITT (now, ITU-T) Recommendations.
Note: Some of the more common X. -series Recommendations are:X.25: A Recommendation for public packet switched communications between a network user and the network itself.
X.75: A Recommendation for public packet switched communications between network hubs.
