CFastCRC16

CFastCRC16 class does not have a base class.

CFastCRC16 class assists you in generating CRC16 checksums.

CRC16 checksums can be generated in two modes: accumulative and non-accumulative.

The accumulative mode is applied when the data for which the checksum is calculated (data) represents one or more continuous memory block(s) or when the data is created at runtime in many steps (for instance, when reading a file).

Non-accumulative mode can be applied when the data represents one continuous memory block, a null-terminated string, or a file.

To generate the checksum in the accumulative mode, perform the following:

• Instantiate a CFastCRC16 object.

• Call the Update member function for each continuous memory block of data to perform the calculations.

• Call the Final member function to obtain the checksum.

To generate the checksum in the non-accumulative mode, perform the following:

• Call the Calculate static member function to calculate and retrieve the checksum.
