string to binary

[srinivas]

Hello

             I have a string 000F45FF i want to convert into binary , how to do that

             result : 11110100010111111111

I would have a look at the 'Hexadecimal Sting to Number' VI or 'Scan from string' VI...  binary display can be set through right clicking on the indicator, Display Format, Binary.

That may not work if the string goes beyond a 64-bit integer. To OP: Are the ones and zeros supposed to be the characters "1" and "0", or something else? Any reason you're dropping the zeros at the beginning? Does the string have a maximum length, or any length?

Also, does the input string consist of the characters "F", "4", etc., or are you displaying the string in hex mode?

Hello

           0 and 1,s are not character actually in my application i am getting the data from controller if 0 that channel is off and 1 is On. So i have total of 20 channels depends on data i can show which bit is on and off

You might like to convert the number to a boolean array, then you could have individual indicators showing if the channel was on or off.
