Excess CRC Failure
(Cyclic Redundancy
Check)
NO
Number of excess
failures
If the mode is not CRC4 (the mode used in
Europe).

repetitive pattern is sent by the far end at 8,000
times/second. If the DTIC does not receive an
expected item from the pattern several times in a
row,the field changes to YES.
