Serial communication with hex

[Frode Efteland]

How do I send data in hex to the serial port?
Is there a way to convert hex string into numbers?

Have a look at the string functions, the additional string to number
functions. There you find all you need.

I have a hex string "CA00 0120 00DE" to send to an intrument. The string is
in "hex display". How can I convert it from byte to byte into numeretic
format?

Hi Frode

If you already have your values in a string you need not to convert them,
because the "write on serial port.vi" function or the VISA functions expect a
string as input for the data to send.
If you want to convert them into numeric bytes, you can use the "string in byte
array" function.

Thanks Nicolai!

Now I've found the right track. Thou, I'm not using the VISA serial
communication. Is it as simple as the standard one? As an extention?

I always use the serial port vi's and run very good with them.
