hex C 0 to binary 11000000

[altenbach]

What is the question?

Hexadecimal "C0" is the same as binary "11000000". Are you having problems with formatting?

Ok.

Do you receive (1) a length=2 string composed of the characers "C" and "0" or (2) are you receiving a single byte string containing the ASCII character \C0 (in HEX display)?

Case 1. Use "Hexadecimal string to number" with an U8 constant as type.

Case 2. Use typecast with U8 as type.

To display the U8 in binary, set the indicator to binary display format. Attached is a simple example (LabVIEW 7.0).
