How to convert decimal to binary

[Ruslan72]

Is there a module that converts decimal number to binary? I need to input number and output 0011.
May be some one has a formula

Use "format into string" with a format code of e.g "%04b" if you want a string output with these binary digits.

If you just want to see the binary representation in a numeric indicator, set its formatting to binary (right-click..format&precision..).

Can you plese convet file to 6.1 format. I am not able to open with 6.1
Thank you

LabVIEW 6.1 cannot do leading zeroes in binary numeric indicators, but here's the conversion anyway.

Hello how are you?

I am trying to start with an input string...12345678901, and convert into 36 bit binary. In this example, there will be 34 bits and two zeros will be placed in front of the binary converted string to fulfill the full 36 bits. Each time there is a new input, I would like for the original input string to increment by 1.  So 12345678902->converted to binary.

Any ideas

Thanks

Sorry about that. I am new to labview and must have gotten lost within the links. I really would appreciate it if you could help me out, if you have the opportunity.

Thanks

(It is not clear why you now had to add to a 2 year old unrelated thread. Why didn't you start a new thread?)

Can you explain in a bit more detail what you mean by 36bit binary? LabVIEW does not have a native 36bit datatype, so what do you actually want?

• a 36digit string consisting exclusively of the letters 0 and 1?
• A U64 integer masked to 36 bits?
• A 5 byte binary string masked to 36 bits?
• ...???

I am trying to start with an input string...for example 12345678901, and convert that string into 36 bit binary. In this example, there will be 34 bits and two zeros will be placed in front of the binary converted string to fulfill the full 36 bits. When you convert 12345678901 into regular binary, you will get 1011011111110111000001110000110101, which is 34 characters. Since there are 36 characters needed, two zeroes will automatically be placed in front of the converted string to fullfill the 36 character requirement.  So if my input is 1, then there will be 35 total zeroes followed by 1. Each time there is a new input, I would like for the original input string to increment by 1.  So 12345678902->converted to binary.

OK, you want it formatted as binary, not "converted to binary". Big difference. What is your LabVIEW version? What is a new input? Where is it coming from?

My labview version is 8.2.  Basically a "new input" would represent new compiled information if I continuously ran the program.
