Byte Array To String Function question

[Lucky--Luka]

Hi all,

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

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

Thanks

0x08 is a Backspace.  In \ Codes, that is \b.

A little more information on the \ Codes here: Backslash ('\') Codes Display LabVIEW Help

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

Right click on a string control (or constant) and select "Visible Items->Display Style". The control gets an extra glyph which is marked with the red rectangle in the image of Mikael. This indicates what display mode the control uses.

Note that this changes ABSOLUTELY nothing about the actual bytes used in the string. It only changes how the control displays them!

I mean: what is that for loop doing?

It is formatting each byte into an ASCII representation of the byte.
