  • Abstract
    An error-detection method for serial transmissions is presented that uses an integer arithmetic checksum. The checksum is compared with cyclic-redundancy-check methods with regard to error-detecting ability and efficiency of implementation in software. The method is a bit weaker at detection but is more efficient, thus representing a different and potentially useful choice in the cost-benefit spectrum.
