Can Test Stand Additional Results display a hex String?

I have a VI called by Test Stand where four fields (which are Hex display in Labview)

and I would like to display these as the hex numbers that they are in my report as additional

results but becasue they are not ASCII they look like garbage.

 

Do I need to change my VI to display these as an ASCII string in my VI or is there a way

to display these in the additional results in Test Stand just as they appear in the Labview VI?

 

Thanks

Hello robojeff!

 

I pulled up the "Using LabVIEW with TestStand" User's Manual and Section 4 talks about using LabVIEW Data Types with TestStand.  On page 4-4 under teh section "Calling VIs with String Parameters" in the User Manual talks about what happens to hexadecimal values.  This should answer your question!
