français vers anglais
Technique / Génie
Ordinateurs : matériel

Context:
Registre de commande12402
Sending request
Passer à 1 le registre et envoyer la commande.
(Le passage du bit est furtif et se repositionne à 0 dès l’envoi de la commande)
Still with editing and not convinced by the offering of:
(The passage of the bit is stealthy and is repositioned at 0 as soon as the command is sent)
Not aware of having bits creeping around the computer.
TIA Chris.

The change of state is transient
"Transient" is I believe the mot juste for this context in IT jargon.
Can I prove it? Hmmm... this, possibly: https://www.computer-dictionary-online.org/definitions-t/tra... ?
The point of this choice of term being that it is the antonym of "permanent".

: All you say is true (though I'd argue about it being the antonym of 'permanent', which is really 'momentary'; the technical antonym of 'transient' is more properly 'continuous'); however, this wouldn't work here, for the reasons I've stated in discussion.

Normally I would concede to your manifestly superior expertise, experience, etc., but in this particular case I think you may be letting your LX expertise colour your perception of this adjective as used in IT, which is the context here. See my link.

Discussion
But I'm looking at the ST and seeing a text purely about software, not about 'puters as hardware. The setting and resetting of the bit will not even be due to an interrupt, but clearly as a consequence of an algorithm, albeit apparently using assembly or something. So I beg to differ when you say it's about hardware.
Although I am very much a hands-on electronics technician, as well as a general IT boffin, we can say that the context here is more the behaviour of hardware than any system aspect. It perhaps takes an engineer to pick up the "feel" for a given term in a particualr technical context, it's a very subtle thing, but I just know what "sounds right" and what sounds awkward or odd.
nevertheless looking down at your hand and saying move with no response a strange feeling. Not only that daughter had to fly up to UK to collect me as no driving for one month.
Not going for transient, as do not want reminding about TIA I had a few years back. Thankfully not too serious but not one I want to repeat.
FYI I'm using command for sending instructions as there are several lists where the commands are put into order. most important first and then by decreasing importance.
I wouldn't use 'transient' here (even though the underlying meaning is similar).
Firstly, because 'transient' has very specific other meanings that would be inappropriate here, so it would tend towards ambiguity.
And secondly, it could introduce another unwanted sense: that the change of state was being brought about specifically by a transient event, e.g. a rising edge of a pulse, which is definitely not what is meant here.
Set to 1. This status will only be temporary/fleeting, since the system will revert to 0 as soon as the order/command (no context so not sure which) has been sent
