Decimal to Hexidecimal sub-vi

[Emmanuel Doit]

Hi All,

I need to convert decimal to hexidecimal, so as to input this to an array. I've tried the solutions posted already for a similar problem, but they aren't suitable.

I cannot use the number to hexidecimal string function, as I need the output as a single number, not a string.

Also writing the decimal number into an indicator, and changing the number type to hexidecimal is not an option, as I would then need to use a local variable to read this value to an array, but this isn't a good idea as I need to do this for many numbers at the same time, (I am trying to send data to CAN).

Hence is there a simple way to create for example a sub vi, which takes in a decimal number, and outputs it as hexidecimal?

Cheers,

Emmanuel

If you're writing a number, then why do you need any conversion. Decimal, hex, octal, etc. is just a visual representation of the same number. Change the format does not change the actual number being written. I've attached a picture of some VISA register writes that I've been doing a lot of lately. The format of each is different but they are all writing the exact same information.

Thanks, you're right! I thought that I needed to input the data in hexidecimal format, as I'm dealing with CAN, but it will accept it as a regular number!
