string number to hex number conversion problem

[lfoitek]

hello,

i have a conversion from a string number array to a string hex array conversion problem.

first i take the string number array and then convert it to a numeric number array and then to a hex string array.

this is what i am getting through for the conversions.

string number = 1111
numeric value = 1111
hex value        =  457

i was expecting F

i attache the vi because it seems easier to understand visually

The number 1111 is 457 in hex
The number 15 is F in hex and is 1111 in binary

You just need to scan the input number as a binary formatted number. (You try to read it a decimal: one thousand one hundred and eleven).

(See attached modification, LabVIEW 8.0)

Unfortunately,

I don't have LV-8.x and cannot see Altenbach's vi.  Most likely very elegant 😉

Here is a version in LV7.0.

Yup, mine's a bit simpler ;).

(he actually wanted a hexadecimal formatted string output. So the "first half" of my code is about equivalent to yours. If the binary string has more than 8 digits, we would need to change to a longer integer type, of course)

Very nice Altenbach,

I like it.  I didn't know if there was a maximum lenght to the binary string which is why I start with the string length.

Thanks for the image.
