Data Checksum

Checksum Generation

It is possible to set up a data checksum in a BC message or a user message that has a length greater than 5 bytes. The position of a data checksum word is always before the DATA CRC if any, or else before the HDLC CRC (overhead).

The data checksum is enabled or disabled for an address using the mxfASCBMsgChecksumEnableSet() function. The current data checksum configuration can be obtained with mxfASCBMsgChecksumEnableGet().

Checksum Verification

To enable the Data Checksum verification, call the mxfASCBMsgChecksumEnableSet() function with the channel handle of the BM. This will enable the checksum verification on the BM for this specific user address.
