Checksum Data
This field contains a modulo 65536 checksum. If the sum is
12345678, then it is divided by 65536, and the remainder is output;
For example, 12345678 / 65536 = 188.3800964 = 188 +
24910/65536, so the number 24910, converted to hex as 614E
would be output.
An easier way to compute the checksum is using the sum
12345678; converted to hex it is the number 00BC614E. The least-
significant four hex digits are output; i.e. 614E.
