I cannot derive the CRC16 algorithm from a data set

On section 2.3 of CRC16 computation of this:

https://www.mennegat.nl/media/shop_item/Mezzo_Doc_1.1.0.pdf

It tries to explain how to calculate the checksum. I have a working example which calculates

d37ccb00526000000014000000

As a checksum of:

0825

The entire payload of the UDP packet being

02d37ccb00526000000014000000082503

The device responds as it is a fully acceptable packet. I just cant seem to figure out with all the example crc checks to find a 16 bit match out there of 0825.

We use the following 16 bit crc checks which I dont think any of them output 0825 as the result.

Thanks for your help!

It appears that the CRC is being stored in little endian format. Using the linked to code as a basis, with initial value CRC = 0, the code generates a CRC of 0x2508, which is being stored as 0x08 0x25.

There's a small chance that an initial value could result in CRC = 0x0825, but more example data would be needed.
