Problems with hex conversion

[MichaGue_01]

Hello community,

I am using a infrared thermometer which is connected through the serial control. To change the emissivity I have to send a special command, e.g. emissivity 0,95 needs the command (HEX) 84 03 B6. 0h84 is the command and 0h03B6 is the emmissivity 0,95 * 1000 in hex.

When I use a string control which is set show hex everything works fine.

Now I want to programmatically change the emissivity. For that I have to join the command 0h84 and the new value.

The problem is, that I get a string which contains the right hex values, but I have to convert this string into hex string - I mean the same values as if I set a strin control to show hex.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks a lot and best regards.

Michael

Hi Michael,

It sounds like you just need to cast the binary data to a string to send it.  We can do this with the flatten to string function.  Please find an example attached, is this what you were after?
