Converting to binary and entering data on a table

[ABC123WEEEEE]

So I'm trying to do 2 things:

1. Generate a random number, convert it to hexadecimal, and display it on a table.

2. Convert the hexadecimal to binary and display that on a table as well

Just started using labview so my block diagram is probably completely wrong

Cant get data from numeric indicators onto table b/c indicators don't have an output for the wire..:(

Look at the Format Into String function.  You can define all kinds of formatting rules.  %x will take a number and format it into a Hex string.  %b will take a number and format it into a Binary string.  You will want to use the build array function to write to your table.

Can you explain what %x and %b means?

Thanks!

Use them in the format input.  Here is a link to the LabVIEW help about the Format Specifier Syntax.  I actually have this tacked up in my cube since I reference it constantly.
