Communication between Xbee and LabVIEW VISA

[HAS_03]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with receiving data from xbee s1. my another xbee using arduino transmit the hex type, but I receive the ASCII data in Labview instead of HEX.

I attached my ASCII data which I got and my HEX data from XCTU which I wanted to send.

please help to solve my problem, thank you

Labview VISA returns a string in UNICODE format. If you want hex data without losses (characters with code 0-32 usually get ignored, because they can't be displayed), right click on your string receiver and click "Hex display" (image below)

or use string to byte array (Programming --> String --> Path/Array/String conversion --> String to Byte Array) to display full data.

Thanks for your instructions, it really works. Thanks🙏🙏

Btw, I have another issue about the time delay when xbee is receiving data. I've got 10-15 seconds delay. Maybe you've other advice or recommendation web to learn more about xbee using labview. Thanks
