Detailed Synonyms for cyclic redundancy check in English

cyclic redundancy check:

cyclic redundancy check [the ~] nomen

  1. the cyclic redundancy check
    – an error correction code that is recorded in each sector of a magnetic disk and used to catch errors in the data 1
    the cyclic redundancy check
    – an error correction code that is recorded in each sector of a magnetic disk and used to catch errors in the data 1
  2. the cyclic redundancy check
    – A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values. Communications protocols such as XMODEM and Kermit use cyclical redundancy checking. 2
