Transmission Check
The Reader can generate three types of transmission checks:
•
Longitudinal Redundancy Check.
A byte developed by an exclusive OR of all bytes in a message.
•
Checksum, Most Significant Byte First
Sixteen bit sum of all the bytes in a message with the most significant
byte transmitted first.
•
Checksum, Least Significant Byte First
Sixteen bit sum of all the bytes in a message with the least
significant byte transmitted first.
The following example illustrates a transmission check. The
message contains the following data:
Start Character = *
Label Delimiter = $
End of Message = CR LF
Symbol Data
= ABC
The message transmits in this sequence:
* $ A B C $ $ CR LF TRANSMISSION CHECK
The table below shows the transmission check for this message.
Transmission Check ASCII Character Hex Value Binary Value

The sum of all bytes in the message is 173 Hex. Checksums are
transmitted in a sixteen bit format. The value 01 Hex is equivalent to
the ASCII control code SOH, 73 Hex is equivalent to the ASCII
character “s”.
