DEX/UCS - G85 - Record Integrity Check

Question

I need to write a C procedure to calculate the CRC16 (G85 - Record Integrity Check) for a DEX/UCS transaction. Searching the internet, I could not find a complete, fully described algorithm anywhere. I also read the "DEX/UCS Programmer`s Guide" without finding anything of interest.

Answer 1

This code found here says that it calculates the mentioned CRC:

public class Crc16 implements CyclicRedundancyCheck {

    public static final int[] table = { 0x0000, 0xC0C1, 0xC181, 0x0140, 0xC301, 0x03C0, 0x0280, 0xC241, 0xC601, 0x06C0, 0x0780, 0xC741, 0x0500,
