Convert and Display 1D array of Bits to a hex string

[MBen11]

Hello,

I'm a beginner to Labview. My VI has used the "Build Array" function to index specific array elements of a larger 2D array and put them into a 1D array. The array, for example, contains "0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1". I want to display this as a hexadecimal string on the front panel as an output. 

I could not figure out a suitable function to do this. My last attempt is shown below in which I use the "Array to Spreadsheet String" function, but my front panel still displays the bits.

Hi MBen,

compare the 1D array with "unequal to zero" to get a boolean array. Then use BooleanArrayToNumber to convert to an integer number. Now use FormatIntoString with any format code you like...

1) Check the endian order and reverse array if needed

2) convert to boolean array with "Not Equal To 0?"

3) "Format Into String" to display the way you need.

Edit: Got it - Thanks for the help!

Sorry about that.  Here is the image.

As you can see the Not Equal to 0? does not need to be in a loop.
