CRC errors: causes & evidence

CRC errors are often symptoms of physical layer issues. TorchScope captures the evidence so you can correlate errors to timing, noise, and device behavior.

Common contributors

  • Improper termination or biasing on RS-485 networks.
  • Loose connectors or shield grounding problems.
  • EMI sources introducing transient noise spikes.
  • Baud rate mismatch or marginal device timing.

Collect a capture clip, show the CRC rate in the health report, and share the evidence alongside hardware inspections.
