william Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I have serial data coming in from two sources. Two xbee radios transmit to one xbee connected to DAQ and the data is colliding which result in corrupt reading of the serial streams.. I want to add a checksum but cannot find any hints in DAQ forum or manual. Can you get me pointed in the right direction. Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzeoTech Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 You can implement a checksum however you like. Checksum is kind of a generic term and can be implemented in many different ways. That's why there is nothing in our manuals. At its simplest, you can do a simple addition of bytes, possibly with rollover, but that one is easy to get false positives. A CRC like what is implemented in ModbusRTU is probably better. You can find details on that in any Modbus specification document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
