1. Avoid bit/byte confusion IEC 60027 specifies that the symbol for binary digit should be 'bit', and this should be used in all multiples, such as 'kbit', for kilobit. However, the lower-case letter 'b' is widely used as well and was recommended by the IEEE 1541 Standard (2002). 2. Also avoid "giga" confusion. Giga according to SI is abbreviated as uppercase G and means 10^6. Termbench uses binary units (1024^n) therefore this should be written as Gi (gibi)
