changing from ascii to hex

[shplinky]

i need to change some characters from ascii to hex... namely the characters Z!| (this means something to a microchip)... but i need it to be done in pda format... now i was able to accomplish this task but only in windows... once i download the program onto a pda i get gibberish... can anyone help me translate these characters from ascii to hex? i believe they should be something like 21050046... doesn't really matter... as long as i get the right idea i'll change the characters later...

thank you in advance for your time!

To translate ASCII code to a number, use the string to byte array VI from the string>>string/array/path conversion palette. Right-click the numeric indicator, select visible items>>radix and change the radix to hex. Is this what you did? I haven't tried this on a PDA. What's the result? There is a function to translate a hex string to a hex number. If this didn't help, specify more about your problem - what are you trying to translate and how are you doing it. Also, post the relevant code.

I've worked a little with PDAs. Here is some info from my limited experience with PDAs. A PDA uses UNICODE or Wide Character Set. The character representations are different than on a PC. I have used functions in Embedded Visual C to do the conversions, but I do not think that these functions exist in regular Labview. There is a Labview for PDAs, which might have the conversion functions. Are you using Labview for PDAs?
