Re: About checksum error

[Maren Purves via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

That's not what I understand to be the intention, but setting the
value to 0 if the checksum is invalid, which should be relatively
simple if the modbus module separates the value from the checksum by
just setting the value to 0 depending on the value (or validity) of
the checksum in a calc record, or would that not work?

If the checksum is wrong then there is probably something wrong with your communications line or the device firmware and you should try to fix it.
