Summary: A new adaptive technique which gives the optimum format for $M$-ary signals to minimize the error multiplication of binary errors in noisy channel conditions is given. The new adaptive technique is most applicable to time varying communication channels in which the signal-to- noise ratio is varying. In addition two examples (8-PSK and 8-FSK), for which the appropriate signalling formats have been calculated, are presented. A new parameter -- order of error $k$ -- is introduced and the relationship between signal energy-to-noise ratio $(E\sb s/ N\sb 0)$ and order of error $k$ is derived.
