LabVIEW
Hex Conversion
Simon,
The conversion is done with the Display Format property (right-click on the control or indicator and choose Display Format...).
0xFF01 in binary would be 1111111100000001. See my other screenshot.

FF01 (=2 bytes) cannot be "converted" into 11111111 (=1 byte) without loss in information. Seems you want to keep only the first byte, so if the FF01 is a 16bit numeric, you can use "split number" and only take the high order byte as U8.
If FF01 is a 2 byte binary string, use "string subset" to get the first byte.
How it is formatted for human consumption on the front panel is irrelevant for the underlying data. FF and 11111111 are the same. If you want it displayed differently, use Bill's advice above.
If you could explain in a bit more detail what you actually want, we can offer more specific advice. 🙂
Sorry, I did not count right, thought you only had 8 bits. 🙂
Anyway, it seems your data is probably little endian. If you use unflatten with the little endian option, you don't need to split the number. Just format with %09b and you get the binary pattern (reverse the string if desired). I assume that you can never have an input corresponding to more that 9 bits.
