problem in sending a string in parallel port

[shreyasahay92]

hi,

i am doing serial communication via com1 port.i have to send a number 255 to the visa write port such that it reads it as one byte because the binary representation of this requires one byte and not 3 bytes that the string constant would read it as.i want to prevent wastage of bytes. someone please suggest me a way to do so.

thanking you,

shreya

Right click the string constant, change its display to hex mode, then type FF into it. This will create a string of length 1, where all bits are 1.
