  • Page 8: Message Format - General

    ® Tamarisk Software ICD E S S A G E O R M A T E N E R A L The serial protocol allows the user to control and monitor status of the thermal imaging module. Every message transmitted or received over the serial interface uses the same message format. The message contains the following components: 1.

  • Page 9: Checksum Computation

    ® Tamarisk Software ICD 2.1 CHECKSUM COMPUTATION Every message has an appended 8-bit checksum. The checksum is computed using all bytes in the �� message from the start character to the last data byte. ��ℎ������������ = �� −��������(��) � ������������ 256 ��=1 Note that summing the negative byte values must be performed using 2’s-complement math, which is common on most processors.
