## Overview

![The Verify Checksum Node.](https://2561100106-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ff6JZovzOqBctA4C1o76u%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4a699113442cbb0bed066a2f55f02d63e03e434f%2Fverifychecksum.png?alt=media)

The **Verify Checksum Node** checks if a **Binary** message is complete and verifies its checksum.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

| `Method`  | **Dropdown** | The type of checksum to be used. This is currently just `CRC8`, a type of cyclic redundancy check. |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type       | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**  | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Message`         | **Binary** | The **Binary** message to be checked.                                 |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type      | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Intact`           | **Bool**  | A boolean which returns *true* if the **Binary** message passes the checks, and *false* if not.                                        |
