I simply want to take a hexadecimal string (for instance '03') and make it so LabView recognizes it as a hexadecimal code, ie '\03' Do I have to type cast it? If so to what type?
Using the "Hexadecimal String to Number VI" should allow you to do this. It's in the All Functions >> String Functions >> String/Number Conversions pallette.
Hope this helps.
