Help with Hex conversion

[TommyB]

Perhaps I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning but I need to convert
an I8 number between 0 and 255 to hex 00 to FF.
The output can only be one byte. I keep getting 4646 with the LabVIEW
conversions corresponding to FF text. This is not what I need but just FF
hex corresponding to 255 decimal in one byte. Does this make any sense?
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Tom

I8 is a signed integer, -128 to +127, do you want to try U8 (unsigned integer, 0 to 255) instead?

I think I finally solved it with the attached example. I needed to use U8
instead of I8.
Thanks for your help.
