There is no standard way of converting a boolean to a string, so there is no function to do this (a "True" boolean string can be "1", "-1", "Yes", "T", "True", etc.). You can do this by using a case structure or the Select function from the comparison palette (insert a boolean and output whichever string you want). You can convert it to a variant or to a number and then to a string or you can type cast it directly to a string. In short, it depends on what string you want, but the easiest way is by using the Select function.

This is really a rather basic question. To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

This will send you "TRUE" or "FALSE" strings ... if you need to convert it to "1" or "0" strings (or any other strings you want) then use a simple case structure.

Format into string will satisfy you to get string value of a Boolean (TRUE /FALSE)------
Provide format string as %s
input 1 as T /F (*Boolean)
output will be (TRUE/FALSE)

Continuation of previous post

If the expected value is (0/1) for (False /True)
then provide format string as %d

Phew.  Good thing he has an answer now after agonizing through 9 years of slience on this thread.

 

Now, if only there were about 5 different ways to do this easier.
