Converting output from hex to decimals

[Andedam]

Hey guys

I use a plugin to retrieve some data in hex as shown in the report.

I use a CSP String Value Test. What must I do in order to convert this HEX number to Decimals? Something with the DataSource tab?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to keep using the same string variable (in my case Locals.myString), put something like this in an expression

Locals.myString=Str(Val("0x"+Locals.myString))

Hello

Thanks for the reply. As I am quite new to TS, please forgive me for being a newbie

I use this function to extract this bit sequence to the report

How do I save this as a variable in either the locals or globals? 

Say I want to take these 12 bits and save them as a variable in FileGlobals automatically, when the sequence is run. So that if I change some parameters of the function, and it yields different bits from above, that it would still automatically save it in FileGlobals as a variable?

Thanks in advance!

Np, learning is a process, it doesn't happen from one day to the other.

To save it to another variables (doesn't matter the scope) it should be already created and you just need to assign the new result to the variable with a "=". Not sure this answer your question so, maybe it is better  if you post an example of what you have.

Hello again. Thanks for the quick reply. 

What I was thinking is to use the DataSource tab like so, and then save it as a variable Test in Locals

Or must I use the Properties -> Expression -> Post Expression ?

Hi,

The Data Source path is the kind of "expression" where you play with the data that later is used to set if the step is Pass or Fail. You can use it if this information is the step result but, if not, better if you use the post-expression, even if both option may work.
