VISA Read data conversion

[Fredo123Danzel]

Hi everyone,

On my display, when I select Hex, I get:
322D 3256 2D12 0123 43B1 4532 1234 8721 3215 6543 0F01.

However, in my Excel file, I have the raw characters sent by VISA Read.

I would like to have something readable in my Excel file. I’ve been advised to convert the string into a byte array, then reconstruct the numbers, and finally get an array of numbers.

Isn’t there a faster method, please?

Because you only change the "display style", but not the underlying data!

Please define "faster"!

Is this ok for you?

Edit: I forgot to set the minimum width at the ToHexString function…
