A timing diagram shows a 10 µs period divided into four slots: 4 µs for channel 1, 3 µs for channel 2, 3 µs for channel 3, and 0 µs for idle. Which channel receives the longest time slot?.
- A.Channel 1
- B.Channel 2
- C.Channel 3
- D.Idle
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Channel 1
Explanation
Why this works
Evidence: the diagram lists the durations of each slot. Interpretation: channel 1 occupies 4 µs, which is greater than the 3 µs slots of channels 2 and 3 and the 0 µs idle period.
Implication: the longest time slot belongs to channel 1. Conclusion: channel 1 receives the longest time slot.
