singed integer from hex string to number converter

[Newbee_3]

HI guys....

I want to convert the number from hex string to number converter but when i am connecting integer to default it is not changing the value (like if you write "EC78" you should get "-5000" but i am getting value in range of 60 thousend)...

Any ideas????

Thanks in advance.....

Hey Newbee,

If you're expecting -5000 from a EC78 hex. value, then you're expecting the convert the string into a complemented U16 :

- "EC78" = 60536 so the complement U16 would be 65535 - 60536 = 4999

The you just have to take the opposite number 😉

Hoping this was it.

Regards,

Eric

Hi Eric,

the OP clearly asked for signed integers!

Use that approach:

,

it will result in "-5000" for your EC78h example...

Just to expand on what others have said.  Use the Hex String to Number.  The key is that the representation you use for the "default" terminal will dertermine the representation of the output.  So if you wire in an I16 into the default, you will get an I16 out and you should get the results you are looking for.

Thanks everybody for their reply but I think I will use Mr.. GerdW method, as it is much simpler
