read binary data from visa

[sambuls]

Hello,

I'm trying to read binary data from my serial interface.

The data comes from a controller that measures temperature.

0°C equals to 00000000 (binary)

1°C equals to 00000001

2°C equals to 00000010

.....

100°C equals to 1100100

....

When I try to read the data with VISA it tries to transform the data to ascii codes.

How can I read the temperature data and connect to a 'thermometer' for example.

I already tried 'hex string to number' but this only works when the hex string is representing numbers not

ascii characters;

First, VISA does not 'transform the data to ascii codes'. You have not set the string indicator correctly. Just right click on it and select 'Hex Display'. To convert to a numeric, use the Typecast function to convert to a U8.
