Hex command for serial communication

[labviewette]

Dear Community,

please have a look at the attached code.

For the specified inputs n1=20 and n2=21 I need the string output indicator to be:

020D140D150D (hex display)

instead i get

020D31340D31350D.

How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance

Don't convert the numbers to a string. Just create the byte array and then use "byte array to string"

Personally, I like to use Replace Array Subset to build up these types of commands.

Everyone has their favorite methods -- I prefer Format into String (right-click and look at Edit Format String and "adjust as needed").

Brief explanation:  \\ means a single backslash (backslash has a special meaning, so \n is NewLine), %x means "number as hex", and ordinary characters mean themselves.

I have to say I don't understand why the original formulation didn't work (it wasn't something you did, as it didn't work for me, either ...).

That code does not produce the desired outcome. He wants the byte data, not the ASCII string.

I don't understand. Of course it doesn't work. The number is converted to a string. Maybe you didn't notice his output string indicator is set to hex display.
