Hi,
I will try and post my question again and try and explain better
I am having trouble to get
the correct integer values from the serial read string that i receive.
E.g. If I send 093 (type in hype terminal) I get 48,57,51 as array elements. I have used the
string to byte array function to convert the string I read from the
serial port. The values are the ascii equivalents. How can I get 0,9,3
back? I need these as the program further performs a length and crc
check which go wrong as 0 is now taken as 48.
Tthe
serial port is reading from a gamma meter. The gamma meter sends its
data in a kind of BCD format (where the each byte is 0-255).
E.g.
The packet received has the length field of the data which is 2 bytes
long (byte 2 and 3). For me to get the value of the length I have to do
the following
length = data(2)*256 + data(3) -- where data is the array of the data read from the serial port.
Using
the string to byte array gives the ascii equivalents. Therefore if the
value received was 5 then labview would give me 53 and 53*256 would be
completely off.
Hope this clarifies. The overall scenario
is that i am trying to convert matlab code into labview so that the
gamma meter could be used with the clients system which runs labview.
I have also attached the matlab file as a txt file but you can change the extension to a .m file.
