The Slave takes·direction from the Master and merely has to wait for the Master to iniate communications and follow a standard routine according to whatever the request is.
On the other hand, the Master has send, recieve, and often verify what the Slave is doing.· If it is not correct, the errors have to be handled with a repeat attempt or other remedies.· There may be more error trapping overhead as the validity of the data may be·in question·[noparse][[/noparse]CRC, parity, etc.].·
