Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003756

A method of encoding text characters as standardized sequences of short and long signals, known as dots and dashes. This code is transmitted using sound, light, or electrical pulses, allowing for communication over long distances or in situations where voice transmission is difficult. The international Morse code standard uses specific timing ratios for dots, dashes, and spaces.
