UDP Data format

[rcee]

Hi,

I am using a cRIO 9031 to collect UDP data and save it to a file. Is there a way to save the raw UDP data anything other than string form? For example the first line of the UDP data is 

SCN1 0400 0000 8E0D 4904

But when i save the data using Write Binary or Text file, it saves is as

SCN1   ŠUQ~  

I would like to preserve the original form of "SCN1 0400 0000 8E0D 4904".

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here??

This is hex-string. You can transform string to numbers and then numbers to hex-string

Thanks for the quick response. It worked.

That innocent looking red dot on Number to Hex String is your data being exploded into a U64 array before conversion.  If you are doing this operation many times or on long strings you should wrap that primitive in a For Loop.  The scalar version does not coerce the input to U64 so it is faster.  One of the very few instances where a loop + function in G is faster than passing an array directly to a function.  Seeing that this is still happening in LV15 probably means I should give up hope of it being fixed.
