I want to send data to a TCP 105 circuit.
The following hex command is OK to send data 123:
7F30001103 313233 45D4
Here, 313233 is hex representation of 123 and 45D4 is the CRC value.
I'm in problem to obtain this 45D4 after calculating CRC. After searching for a long time on the web, I'm getting other CRC values in different standards. But those CRC values are not being accepted by my LED display circuit.
Please help me to know how is it possible to get 45D4 from 7F30001103313233.
Thanks in advance.
The command matches an algorithm called CRC-16/CMS.
$ reveng -w 16 -s 7f30001103313233d445
width=16 poly=0x8005 init=0xffff refin=false refout=false xorout=0x0000 ch
eck=0xaee7 name="CRC-16/CMS"
This is probably the correct algorithm, as you've only given one codeword (and because I've assumed that the CRC has been byte-swapped.)
To generate code that computes this CRC, see Mark Adler's crcany tool, for instance.

A bit stream 11100110 is to be transmitted using CRC method. The generator polynomial is X4+ X3 + 1.
What is the actual bit transmitted ?
Suppose the third bit from the left is inverted during the transmission. How the error is detected.
How the generator polynomial is already known to sender side as well as receiver side, please make this clear.
Solution :
Here, FCS will be 0110 since n = 4.
So actual bit transmitted is >> 11100110 0110
I am confused with the problem 2, 3. please reply my 2, 3 questions.
Thank You!
If you know how to generate the 0110, then invert the bit and generate a new CRC. You will see that it's different. On the other end when you compute the CRC of the eight bits sent, it will not match the four bit CRC sent.
The two sides agree a priori on a protocol, that includes the definition of the CRC to be used.
I am currently working on a project that requires data to be sent from A to B. Once B receives the data, it needs to be able to determine if an error occurred during transmission.
I have read about CRC and have decided that CRC16 is right for my needs; I can chop the data into chunks and send a chunk at a time.
However, I am confused about how B will be able to tell if an error occurred. My initial thought was to have A generate a CRC and then send the data to B. Once B receives the data, generate the CRC and send it back to A. If the CRCs match, the transmission was successful. BUT - what if the transmission of the CRC from B to A errors? It seems redundant to have the CRC sent back because it can become corrupted in the same way that the data can be.
Am I missing something or over-complicating the scenario?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You usually send the checksum with the data. Then you calculate the checksum out of the data on the receiving end, and compare it with the checksum that came along with it. If they don't match, either the data or the checksum was corrupted (unless you're unlucky enough to get a collision) - in which case you should ask for a retransmission.
CRC is error-detection and, notice, your code can only detect a finite number of errors. However, you can calculate the probability of a CRC16 collision (this is relatively small for most practical purposes).
Now how CRC works is using polynomial division. Your CRC value is some polynomial (probably on the order of (x^15) for CRC16). That said, the polynomial is represented in binary as the coefficients. For example, x^3 + [(0)*x^2] + x + 1 = 1011 is some polynomial on order x^3. Now, you divide your data chunk by your CRC polynomial. The remainder is the CRC value. Thus, when you do this division operation again to the received chunk (with the remainder) on B, the polynomial division should come out even to 0. If this does not occur then you have a transmission error.
Now, this assumes (including corruption of your CRC value) that if n bits are corrupted, the CRC check will detect the failure (assuming no collision). If the CRC check does not pass, simply send a retransmission request to A. Otherwise, continue processing as normal. If a collision occurred, there is no way to verify the data is corrupted until you look at your received data manually (or send several, hopefully error-free copies - note that this method incurs a lot of overhead and redundancy only works to finite precision again).
I am trying to figure out how the calculate the CRC for very simple SDLC frames.
Using an MLT I am capturing the stream and i see some simple frames being sent out like: 0x3073F9E3 and 0x3011EDE3
From my understanding the F9E3 and EDE3 are the 2 byte checksums of the 3073 and 3011 since that is all that was in that frame.
using numerous CRC calculators and calculations I have been able to get the first byte of the checksum, but not the last byte (the F9 and the ED).
Using this calculator (http://www.zorc.breitbandkatze.de/crc.html):
Select CRC-CCITT
Change Final XOR Value to: FFFF
Check Reverse Data Bytes and reverse CRC result before Final XOR
Then type the input: %30%11
Which will give the output B8ED so the last byte is the ED.
Any ideas?
You are getting the correct crc16's (F9 F8, ED B8). I don't know why your last byte is E3 in both cases. This is perhaps a clue that the packets are not being disassembled correctly.
Is there any checksum that results in 2 digit hexadecimal?
I can only find NMEA Checksum...

I have some data file that I want to perform reverse engineering to find the kind of checksum.
Thank you in advance,
Two hex digits is one byte. You're looking for a checksum which produces one byte.
Obviously, you've got a simple additive checksum (sum the bytes of the input), and an xor of the input bytes.
It could also be a longer checksum of which only 8 bits have been taken.
It could also be some kind of CRC-8; Wikipedia knows about five kinds of standardised CRC-8.
A question in my university homework is why use the one's complement instead of just the sum of bits in a TCP checksum. I can't find it in my book and Google isn't helping. Any chance someone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Mike
Since this is a homework question, here is a hint:
Suppose you calculated a second checksum over the entire packet, including the first checksum? Is there a mathematical expression which would determine the result?
Probably the most important is that it is endian independent.
Little Endian computers store hex numbers with the LSB last (Intel processors for example). Big Endian computers put the LSB first (IBM mainframes for example). When carry is added to the LSB to form the 1's complement sum) it doesn't matter if we add 03 + 01 or 01 + 03: the result is the same.
Other benefits include the easiness of checking the transmission and the checksum calculation plus a variety of ways to speed up the calculation by updating only IP fields that have changed.
