Send Binary Hex Data Using UDP Write

[Pawel_Kowalski]

Hello,

I am new to labview and I have a device I need to communicate with using UDP. The commands I need to send are hex value, for example C3. However, when I enter this in the data string for UDP write it gets converted to ASCII before it gets sent. There was a question asked on this topic but the answer was very vague and I couldn't understand it:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Right click on the string and click hex display

Thank you for your fast reply, I appreciate it. I have tried that but any time I try to send lets say 0xf2 it converts it to 00F2, is that correct?

If you have a string control and it's set to Hex Display mode there is no conversion. Whatever you type is what gets fed to the UDP Write.



Are you sure you're not dealing with numeric controls or values?

I just did a packet trace and you are absolutely right, the issue seems to be with my hardware. Labview is sending out the right information. Thank you both, I really appreciate the quick help.
