Salutations,
I looked at the bin to dec vi provided by national instruments as
example code. I notice they used a front panel control and a
switch to change from binary to decimal and back to binary; this
process utilized a property node to control the format of the front
panel control. I was hoping there was an easy way to take a
decimal number and convert it to binary (i am sending an array of
numbers into a for loop), and then eventually back to decimal. My
process is as shown:
Index two arrays and you get the numbers 2 and 4.
2 - convert to binary - 10
4 - convert to binary - 100
I then want to concatenate these two numbers to form: 10100
Taking this new number back to decimal: 10100 -> 20.
I looked through the "numeric conversions" section and found nothing to
be of assistance. I also tried to format the number into a binary
string and then work back out, but this didn't come out too well.
I was hoping there was a vi that was already created to format the
numbers as I see fit. Otherwise, I do know how to convert between
binary and decimal and then back, I was just hoping to avoid this
cumbersome process.
Thank you for your time and assistance,
E. Smith
