if i am sending "123456789" (let's say 9 bytes), how can i use the above routine within a main progam to append the crc byte to my 9 bytes to make it 10 bytes?.i am a bit confused.someting like :

uint16 crc;
CalcCRC("123456789",9,crc); // ????? Not sure

[Ejaz]

Well, I use it to calculate the crc of data buffer (say "123456789") , then put the crc in the message header (sperate from the data buffer), send the message, get the message at the other end, read the header, calculate the crc of the data buffer and compare the two crc values.

Something like

struct WI_NetMsg
{
	struct SHdr
	{
		uint32 uMsgID;
		uint16 uCRC;
	} SHdr_t;

	char * pData;
}

[9e9+]

BTW, isn't this a 16 bit crc rather than an 8 bit?.

[Ejaz]

Infact it is.

[9e9+]

in fact it is 16 bit or 8 bit?.

[Ejaz]

It generates a 16-bit checksum.

[9e9+]

if you don't mind, do you have example of 8-bit crc?.

[Ejaz]

Well, I don't have exact example of 8-bit check sum, but a quick search at google has given some links, I don't know how much useful they can be. Have a look at the followings.
