Integer to hex converstion with hex display for device communication

[PTimmer]

Hello everyone,

i am trying to communicate with a device that only recognizes the commands if i use a constant in hex display "format(?)". Now i want to feed it an integer from my program but the integer to hex function doesn't seem to give out its results in the hex display format as when i display its output in a hex display i get some wired result where 4000000=3030 3044 3039. Could someone please explain to me what the whole hex display thing is all about and how to cope with it? As you can probably tell by my question i am rather new to Labview.

Regards,

Phillip

Hi Phillip,

I guess your device expects the value 4000000 (=4e6) as a I32 value in the datastream…

Just typecast to string (or use FlattenToString to get more options)!

Thanks mate flatten to string seems to be the solution
