Overview
This VI demonstrates how to change MAC address display mode from HEX to comma separated decimal.


Description

When you get the MAC address of a real-time controller it is encoded in a string. This appears as gobbledygook! You can change the display mode to hex and it appears closer to what we are used to. The attached VI will take this a step further and convert it to appear correctly in a normal string and use the separators we expect for MAC addresses (and you can change this).


Requirements

  • LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Enter the HEX MAC address
  2. Run the code.
