Hi all,

any idea why the function isn't displaying the input correctly?

Thanks

I mean: what is that for loop doing?

Do you want it in Normal Display format like thsi:

BTW this loop of generating the HEX string is not fast, there are much faster ways of doing it

Could you explain to me what you have done please?

Hi all,

can anyone tell me why the output isn't like:

\05\08\07\01\00\01\03\E8\01\B3

Thanks

Hi everyone
I need to make a VI that receives 4-byte hexadecimal values as ASCII strings from a CAN-USB interface. I am using an Arduino CAN schield with a firmware that I have not personally written and that I still haven't access to. I do have a problem with the format in which I receive the values. To get the exact value I should add 0 in the middle of the values when missing.
I give an example to explain better.
I get the string:
2 8 D5 0 0 0 0 B 5 70 <CR><LF> (value: 46448)
I'd like to interpret it as:
2 8 D5 0 0 0 0 B 05 70 <CR><LF> (value: 722288)
I'll give another example.
I get the string:
2 8 D5 0 0 0 0 B 4 5 <CR><LF> (value: 2885)
I'd like to interpret it as:
2 8 D5 0 0 0 0 B 04 05 <CR><LF> (value: 721925)
The maximum value I can read in this case is 1000000 in any case.

After I have added the zeros where needed in order to have always groups of two characters I can make something as in the attached VI to get the number that I am looking for.
Does anyone have an idea what algorithm I can use? Thank you!
