Configuring two vi's

[kilyg]

I am using two vi's, a simple serial vi and a hex to binary vi. I am placing items from the serial vi on the hex to binary vi but cannot find the string to write and string to read items and the I16 and U32 interfaces in the functions palette. How do I connect these items in manually?

Hi Kilyg,

Thanks for your post. Apologies for the delayed response.

I am not entirely clear as to what data is being passed between these VIs.
My current understanding is that you have several numeric (I16 & I32) front-panel controls and indicators, and you wish convert numeric data to string data. Am I correct here?

You can do this by using the 'Format into String' function to convert TO string data, and 'Scan From String' function to convert FROM string data. These can both be found on the 'String' function sub-palette.

Let me know how you get on.
Regards,
