Numeric to Hex string

[Mechatronrathi]

Hello Friends,

I have to convert Numeric to String to send in MODBUS Communication. I dono the conversion so that numeric can be made variable and i will do conversion internally. Pls have a look at the VI attached to get clear idea. If you still have doubt in this I am ready to explain.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi friend,

- "to/from hex conversion" is ask very often in the forum. Did you read any of those threads?

- You also don't give clear explanations: In your example you convert your input 12 to a string displaying "12" in hex mode. Do you really want to have BCD numbers in the string? Or do you expect "0C" as string (in hex display mode)?

- using DBLs to convert to string is also ambigous. Do you wnat the value converted to some integer format or do you want to typecast the DBL?

Yes. I want to convert that numeric input into BCD numbers what we enter in String constant in Hex Display.

Hi friend,

here's a very basic, straight-forward way:

Probably there are more effective ways, but I wanted to show some basic steps of that conversion...

Hello,

In order to inter-convert data types, LabVIEW provides in-built conversion palettes. For example, in order to convert numeric to string (decimal, hex display, etc), you can have a look at the following palette:

Programming>>String>>String/Number conversion

You may find some useful functions there. Hope this helped!
