How can I send binary data (not ASCII) through a UDP packet?

[dsp222]

I would like to send hexadecimal data string (e.g. 0x12AB) directly through a UDP packet.  I send the hex string to the UDP write and it gets translated into ASCII (e.g. 0x12AB = 31 32 41 42) before it is sent.

Is there a way to get the UDP write to skip the ASCII translation?

No it doesn't. A string is a string. Check the display format of the various string indicators. Maybe you are doing something wrong. How do you generate the "hexadecimal data string? (Right= "typecast", wrong= "number to hexadecimal string")

If you are still confused, please attach a simplified example of your VI.

Much Appreciated.
