APPENDIX 1: CRC CALCULATION ALGORITHM
The following ‘C’ code can be used to calculate the 16-bit CRC required for all packets. The CRC is contained in
the packet header and is calculated for the entire packet (header plus body). The CRC
calculation is performed with the CRC bytes of the packet header initialized to zero.
// Using two 256 byte lookup tables, quickly calculate a
16-bit CRC on // a block of data.
// Params:
// pcData : Pointer to data to calculate CRC on.
// nCount : Number of data bytes.
// Return: 16-bit CRC value.
WORD CalculateCRC16 (BYTE *pcData, int nCount)
{
BYTE cCRCHi = 0xFF; // high byte of CRC initialized
BYTE cCRCLo = 0xFF; // low byte of CRC initialized
BYTE cIndex; // will index into CRC lookup table
while (nCount--) // step through each byte of data
{
cIndex = cCRCHi ^ *pcData++; //
calculate the CRC
cCRCHi = cCRCLo ^ cCRCHiArray[cIndex];
cCRCLo = cCRCLoArray[cIndex];
}
return (cCRCHi << 8) + cCRCLo;
