LabVIEW Utility VIs for Base64 and Base32Hex Encoding Using LabVIEW

[Christian_L]

Overview

This example can be used to convert (encode and decode) strings between ASCII, Base64, and Base32Hex encoding.

Description

Base64 encoding is commonly used for encoding passwords and attachments (MIME) in e-mail and other online communication.

Note that Base64 and Base32Hex encoding are not encryption and do not add any security to the information. It is intended to convert any string into a format that can be reliably transferred across any network. In that example, there is a "Main VI" that contains all the operations front panel.

Requirements

Software:

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible) 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run VI.
2. Select which operation you want to handle and enter the input for converting it.
