Converting ASCII to Same Value Hex to Floating Point

[Luke_W]

Overview

This example VI demonstrates the method to convert ASCII characters into the same value but in hex representation

Description

This example converts ASCII characters into the same value but in hex representation (ie 'A' = 0xA). The example also goes on to convert that hex value into a floating point number. To use, put in a string into the ASCI string control and press run. You can interact with the control after the VI is running as it is in a while loop. To stop the VI, press the stop button.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download the attached folder to your computer
2. Open the VI " Ascii hex string to float 2012 NIVerified.vi".
3. Input an ASCII String.
4. Run the VI.

Could you add an option for little endian? I'm trying to go from Hex to IEEE754 32bit float.
