A processor 3 reads the words of a logical block, e.g. BLi, from memory, e.g. RAM2, and checks the block by operating on the words and comparing the result with a predetermined value.
<??>For example, processor 3 performs exclusive OR operations between homologous bits of a word W1, W2, W3, W4, OCWi, and contents of a register 3c and sets the resultant in register 3c. Initially register 3c holds all <<O>>s. When first word W1 is <<01001010>> the resultant set in register 3c is <<01001010>>. Homologous bits of this resultant and second word W2 are exclusive OR-ed to give <<11100000>> in register 3c. Similar operations are effected for W3, W4 and OCWi. If block BLi checks correctly a predetermined result <<00000000>> is found in register 3c.
<??>Word OCWi is an operational control word provided in block BLi, when words W1 to W4 are stored, to ensure that the predetermined result will be arrived at in the case of correct checking.
