decimal to hex

[Jav]

hi... I´m creating a program... and I want to convert my decimal numbers in hex numbers, but with the same number.. for example... I need trasform 149(dec) in
149(hex)... I know that 149 dec is equivalent to 95 hex.. but I need transform any number dec.. in the same hex.. 138dec to 138 hex.......
thanks..

Hi,
You can do it in following way:
1. First convert your decimal number to its string representation with "Functions->String->String/Number Conversion->Number to decimal string.vi"
2. Then convert this string to the hex number with "Functions->String->String/Number Conversion->Hexadecimal string to number.vi"

The example is attached.

Good luck.

I am curious if you are doing this so that the panel display will be entered
in hex. If so you need to right click the panel control and select 'format
precision' and select hexadecimal.

The method I'd chose would be over a string-conversion.

Use the "To Decimal" Function to convert the Number to a String and feed
this string to a "From Hexadecimal". This will interpret the decimal
sting as hexadecimal, which is just waht you want.

you can get an example from
http://www.marco.tedaldi.net/labview/vis/
(dec_hex.vi it's labvie 4.1 which should automatically get converted to
your version).

I think it isn't
very fast. So, if you're using the conversion for much
data or in a tight loop, you should try another way with some math
("Quotient & Reminder" could help).
