Creating CRC in order to connect with external dev

[GW]

Hi,

I am trying to send serial inforamtion using Troi Serial PlugIn to a device which requires a calculated CRC for error correction. I beleive that the calc must count all the characters in the text block being sent and then send that along with the ASCII CRC code in order for the recieving device to accomplish the same and come up with the same number for validation.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this task? And which ASCII character is the coded CRC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi GW,

There are several types of CRC's, what kind of 'device' are you refering to?
