A procession of girls carrying a daisy chain. The elementary meaning of daisy chain is a garland created from the daisy flower, generally as a children's game. Daisies are picked and a hole is made towards the base of the stem, generally by piercing with fingernails. The stem of the next flower can be threaded through until stopped by the head of the flower. By repeating this with many daisies, it is possible to build up long chains and to form them into simple, floral bracelets and necklaces. It is likely that the technical meanings given below, associated with various pursuits, stemmed from this simple, bucolic pursuit.
Computer engineeringWithin computer engineering a daisy chain is a bus wiring scheme in which, for example, device A is wired to device B, device B is wired to device C, device C to device D etc. The first and last devices are normally wired to a resistor network called a terminator. All devices may receive identical signals or, in contrast to a simple bus, each device in the chain may modify one or more signals before passing them on. Daisy chaining is a characteristic of SCSI, EIA-422 as used in LocalTalk and various industrial control networks. It should not be confused with:
Daisy chain topologies have the advantage of simplicity in protocols, as each node only needs to know whether the information is relevant to it, or which way to forward it. The disadvantage is that each node introduces a delay in the signal, so long chains have a relatively high latency compared to broadcast topologies. A damaged or crashed node is also likely to partition the network, unlike wireless broadcast or star topologies. Computer softwareThe term is also used in computer software. Daisy Chain installation is a "smart" installation, whereby an installation can happen piecemeal, as all the components of the package are connected to each other. In a web-based installation, if there is a disconnect inbetween, the software need not be downloaded from scratch, but rather restarted from where it stopped.

See Series_and_parallel_circuits. For example, several hard drives within a single personal computer will have their data busses daisy chained with a ribbon cable to a controller on the motherboard. In addition, these same hard drives will have their power connections daisy chained not only to each other, but also to other types of peripherals that operate on the same voltage. A simpler example is a string of light bulbs wired in parallel. Here the power to each bulb is daisy chained. Other examples would be a string of security sensors or fire alarm pull stations. These devices might only have two wires daisy chained to each, but those wires represent a low voltage data signal. MusicIn electronic music, the term daisy chain refers to a series of synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, or various other MIDI devices connected to one another in a chain via MIDI cables. Each device may receive MIDI data from devices higher up in the chain. However, long daisy chains may result in a lag between the time information is originally sent from a master device and when it is received further down the chain. This is known as MIDI delay. Because of this, many musicians prefer to use MIDI patch bays rather than creating daisy chains. Rock climbingIn rock climbing, a daisy chain is a ladder made from nylon tape, originally made by chaining together several loops of nylon tape. It is used in aid climbing. In free climbing daisy chain can also refer to a large nylon loop sewn together at intervals along the midlength. A climber properly attached to the daisy chain who sustains a fall will be decelerated by the breaking of the sewing at one or more places. Incorrect attachment across a sewn section can result in hitting the deck. BackpackingA daisy chain in backpacking is a small strip of webbing with multiple loops, which allows the backpacker to secure many different types of objects to the exterior of the pack. SexualityDaisy chain is used in a sexual context as a group sex formation involving multiple partners. Participants lie in a circle, with each person putting their mouth to the genitals of the next person. The term can also refer to a group of men penetrating each other anally. A daisy chain also refers to any series of complicated relationships in which, over time, people have had different partners who have themselves had other partners within the same group of people.
