Is there a VI to turn a 1-D array of integers into Intel Hex Format string?

I have a 1-D array of 16-bit integers. I guess I can turn these numbers into 2x8 bit numbers. After that I would like to convert this arary of numbers into an Intel Hex format string. Is there a VI for this?

Hi javiucsd,

Actually there is no straight way VI.To split each 16bit integers into 2-8bit integers,you can split numbers function and after that change the representation(display format) as Hex.I had attached a vi,have a look at this.

Thanks and regards,

Are you referring to this, or something else?

you can simply typecast your integer array as a string and it will be in the "Intel" or Little Endian format

you can pass the array through the swap bytes vi to format the string in "Motorolla" or Big Endian format

I understand how to turn a 16 bit number into 2x8 bit numbers and I understand the type casting into a string.......

smercurio_fc - You are correct. The Intel Hex File Format with the Start code, byte count, address, Type, Data, and Checksum is exactly what I am looking for. I was just seeing if such a VI already existed. If not, then I guess I just gotta write it.

Thanks everyone for your input.

In this post someone had written a VI to read from a file written in Intel Hex File Format and convert it to binary. I haven't looked at the code so I don't know if you can use it as a starting point to do the reverse.
