Your right! and when your right your right!
The 7 digit number was mistake on my half - when I was doing some calculations I forgot that the calculator would not let me inpurt 0 at the start of number without a decimal. so I lost a digit.
Yes the requirement is for an 8 digit decimal number to be converted into a 24 -then 26 bit binary sequence. The amount of bits are fixed as this conversion is part of a protocol. Where they could never be more that a 26 bit representation. However you have high-lighted a valid point and I may have to introduce some kind of error handler just in case that in the event of an invalid number being introduced, the program throws it out. not sure how I would do this though, or what the best way to go about it is.
The program will be running on Compact RIO FPGA - module 9403.
I only completed Labview core 1 last week at National Instrument (UK), in two weeks I have FPGA course same place. I before core 1 I had never touched labview or similar. I am not from an electronics background either. Its a steep learning curve for me, I appreciate the advice and help you give.
