Re : Convert hex (or byte??) to double

[GerdW · Accepted solution]

Hi thodoros,

there is no difference between numbers in decimal or hexadecimal representation - they are still the same numbers

The point is you have to pick the correct bits and apply the calculation you need. Which bits to pick was given by your manual, how to calc was given in the manual and in our explanations. You can (should) use standard LV functions, you may either use a formula node (maybe you have a C background?) or (if enabled) even start a MathScript node - all will give you the same results, just with different performance.

To raise your learning curve I attach code to convert 4 byte FPLs to DBL. Now the input is an array of U8...There are no comments in the code, use the context help to learn about the functions and read the "detailed help" for the more advanced ones! Try to analyze the code, that way you may also learn LabView
