oh yes I forgot to change it. I changed and run the vi again. both of results are the same. you are right. but it seems there are a lot of values but they are all same.

That's because they're all the same in the original file.

do you know any hex to dec editor to see the values to validate our vi? I really confused about it.

There is no such thing since it depends on the format of the data, which in your case is actually a mutliple pieces of data.

Hi newbie,

"there are a lot of values but they are all same"

Well, your example file only contains those number. The compression rate of ZIP is a good evidence for this as it compresses by a factor of ~100 which is unusual for (more or less) random measurement data...

Thank you very much. I compressed the data file just to attached the thread. I use it on my PC without any operation. I mean I used it in my PC as I took it from the other program and I have never compressed it, I compressed a copy of it. Anyway, tomorrow I will try to get decimals of an other raw data file and see the result. Thank you very much all 😄

Do you have this program? I looked the website but it is not a freeware. I do not know whether the trial version works or not.

If all you want to do is to look at the file in hex format (which would have told you the values are all the same), you don't need to buy that program. Notepad++ with the Hex Editor plugin will do that. Notepad++ is free.

As I said above, in the time it took you to think about a program to display a file in HEX format, you could have written a LabVIEW program to do the same. 😄

Thank you smercurio_fc. I have already installed Notepad++, I installed the hex editor plugin and it shows all values the same. It works nice. Thanks again. I saw them like below.

thank you they are the same in notepad++ too. we did all right. 😄

In the labview that your sugesstions with GerdW velocities comes out as 0.272018. when I convert to this hexadecimal values in this site it comes out differently. how to labview convert it to the decimal value?
