I m developing instrument driver and i want to know how to calculate checksum of frame.

Explanation:

Expressed by characters [0-9] and [A-F].

Characters beginning from the character after [STX] and until [ETB] or [ETX] (including [ETB] or [ETX]) are added in binary.

The 2-digit numbers, which represent the least significant 8 bits in hexadecimal code, are converted to ASCII characters [0-9] and [A-F].

The most significant digit is stored in CHK1 and the least significant digit in CHK2.

This is sample frame :

<STX>2Q|1|2^1||||20011001153000<CR><ETX><CHK1><CHK2><CR><LF>

and i want to know what is value of chk1 and chk2 and i am new in this so i m totally blank about how to calculate checksum

i am not getting above 3rd and 4th point.

can any one provide sample code for c#.

Please help me.
