Not included in the calculation Included in the calculation Result
The first character of the BCC calculation is 0 0 (00110000 in binary), the value
of which is taken as a starting or result value. The next character is 1 1
(00110001 in binary), which now has the exclusive OR (XOR) operator act
upon it. With the previous result value, a new result occurs of 00000001 in
binary.
The complete calculation is show in the table below:
Character Binary Value XOR result
0 0011 0000 –
1 0011 0001 0000 0001
2 0011 0010 0011 0011
1 0011 0001 0000 0010
– 0010 1101 0010 1111
3 0011 0011 0001 1100
4 0011 0100 0010 1000
. 0010 1110 0000 0110
5 0011 0101 0011 0011
ETX 0000 0011 0011 0000
The final value is the BCC, provided that its equivalent decimal value exceeds
31 (ASCII characters from 00 to 31 are used as control codes).
When the final
XOR result produces a decimal value less than 32, 32 is added.
In this example, 0011 0000 is 48 decimal which is above 31, so this is the final
BCC value. 48 decimal is the character 0. The complete message will be:
EOT 1 1 2 2 STX 0 1 2 1 - 3 4 . 5 ETX 0
Example
QuickBasic program to calculate BCC
mess$ = CHR$(4)+”1122”+CHR$(2)+”0125”+”-34.5”+CHR$(3)
bcc% = 0
FOR n% = 7 to LEN(mess$)‘start at the character after ‘chr$(2).
bcc% = bcc% XOR ASC(MID$(mess$, n%, 1))
NEXT
IF bcc% < 32 THEN bcc% = bcc% + 32
mess$ = mess$ + CHR$(bcc%)
PRINT mess$
In
DPL, the ANSIREAD and ANSIWRITE functions automatically calculate
the BCC.
