Converting an Ascii character to its hex value

[Japper]

I have one ascii character that I read from a serial port and I would like to use this value to set the position of a dial indicator.

I see that Labview 8.0 has a standard number to hexadecimal string function to convert ascii to its hexidecimal number but how do I convert the ascii value read into a double number for the dial indicator?

thanks

String to Boolean Array followed by Index Array will give you an unsigned 8-bit integer representing the character in your string. You could convert that to a Double or jsut change the representation of the dial indicator to U8.
