CRC or Cyclic Redundancy Check is a process that helps in identifying any errors that might occur during the data transmission process. Data is usually transmitted in small blocks, and a CRC value is assigned to each block and transmitted along with it. This CRC value is verified at the destination to ensure that it matches the CRC value transmitted from the source. A CRC error occurs when the two values (source and destination) do not match and the test fails. The main benefit of CRC is that it helps you ensure that data you have received or downloaded is not damaged or corrupt.
Causes of CRC Errors
CRC errors can occur due to many different types of problems. Some of these problems are:
Damage to file during the transmission process.
A problem occurred when the file was being sent.
Problems with the device that is accessing or opening the file.
Problems with the file itself.
Quote:
- Ensure that there are no problems with your network or modem connection.
- Try to retransmit the file.
- Try sending the file using some other method or connection.
- Ensure that the file was sent using the correct format.
