7Check Sum

The Check Sum is data to which 2-Byte ASCII code is added to a data group that is returned by a GET command.

one character at a time then displayed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only the last two digits are displayed.

when these values are added the result is 1F5 (hex)

xx, where xx is 0B (hex), is added to 1F5 so the last two digits are 00 (in this case 200)

as the data format, OB is converted to ASCII code and sent

The following data is output from the plasma display side.

*The returned data group isin capital English letters. Please keep this in mind when introducing it into the binary code..

data group is calculated according to rules set by a PC application when these values are added, the result is 1C4 (hex)

value xx, where xx is 3C (hex), is added to 1C4 such that the last

two digits are 00 (in this case 200)

check sum [OB (hex)] and the calculated [3C (hex)] do not match

Since they do not match, the PC application repeats the GET command and retrieves the data again.

data group is calculated according to rules by a PC application when these values are added, the result is 1F7 (hex)

value xx, where xx is 09 (hex), is added to 1F7 such that the last two digits are 00 (in this case 200)

check sum [OB (hex)] and the calculated [09 (hex)] do not match.

Since they do not match, the PC application repeats the GET command

and retrieves the data again.
