ICP DAS USA 7000 user manual Checksum=0

•Step 3: read the module status, chksum=DISABLE

•Step 5: enable checksum with the INIT*_pin floating, so the function fails. If the user want to enable the checksum bytes of the 7000 module, the INIT*_pin must be connected to the GND_pin. If the INIT*_pin is left floating (unconnected), the 7000 module will echo ?AA to the user.

•Step 8: enable checksum with the INIT*_pin connected to the GND_pin. After this command, the checksum is still in the DISABLE state. The state of checksum will be changed only during the power-on period. But the checksum status is saved into EEPROM immediately.

•Step 10: read the module status from EEPROM and find that checksum is in the ENABLE state. The state of checksum was changed in step 8 but this module is still in checksum DISABLE state. Only when the module has powered-off-and-powered-on, the state of checksum will be changed to

ENABLE

•Step 11: power off, disconnect the INIT*_pin and the GND_pin. Power on. The checksum status of this module is enabled now.

•Step 12-17: Changes TEST.EXE to baud rate 9600 and checksum enable, then read back the module status and find that the module is in checksum enable state now.

The steps to compute checksum are given as follows:

step 1: checksum=0;

1.Step 2: for all command byte checksum = checksum + command byte

2.Step 3: checksum=checksum&0xff

3.Step 4: convert checksum to ASCII high byte and ASCII low byte

For example, command = $012[Enter]

Checksum = $+0+1+2=0x24+0x30+0x31+0x32=0xB7 Checksum & 0xff = 0xB7

Checksum ASCII high byte = ASCII B = 0x42 Checksum ASCII low byte = ASCII 7 = 0x37 Command with checksum = $012B7[Enter
