A very simple hex conversion question

[tsheikh]

I probably am not thinking it correctly. I have hex constant (string constant with hex) and I want its decimal value. Please see the attached vi for details.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Use the Hexadecimal String to Number primitive instead (as shown in the attached VI)

[tsheikh]

The basic assumption for using the Hexadecimal String to Number primitive is that the input is normal text. My input happens to be a 'Hex' input. Hence your solution fails.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Oops ... I guess I was a litlle too fast.
Here is the conversion procedure you need.

Your original implementation will work if you change the representation of the integer wired to the type input to U16 (you have I32).

The four character hex constant you have wired is equivalent to a 2 byte integer, not 4 bytes.
