Formula in LabVIEW

[vishnu4100]

Hi,
We have purchased LabVIEW 8.0 and currently working on a project based on LabVIEW. I have to write out the result from a formula calculation to a parallel port. The result of the formula is a 11 digit decimal number. I need to display the result in HEXADECIMAL format and write it to 3 16bit registers in an external board. But after executing the formula, I'm not able to convert the result to hex format.
I look forward to your reply at the earliest.

Yours faithfully,

Check the numeric representation of the result of your calculation. If its a float it has no hex representation - at least in the sense that an integer does.

If it does yield a float then you will need to typecast it to an unsigned integer in order to get it into the IEEE-754 spec. You can create an indicator for the unsigned integer, and as Mike indicated, this will have the option of displaying it in Hex on the front panel.
