LV PDA 8.2 Hex String to Number Primitive BUG

Attached is a LV Project used with a Windows Mobile 5.0 device.  The project is set to enable debugging and a breakpoint is set at the Hex String To Number VI primitive.  When I wire in a U8 type input, my WM5.0 device consistently crashes.  When I unwire the U8 type input, everything works fine.  Try the attached file with a real WM5.0 device.  Emulator mode may still work with the U8 input wired.

I just wanted to let you know that I have brought this issue up to
R&D. They are now aware of it, however I cannot give you a
timeframe on how long it would take to get back with me. I will surely
contact post on this forum as soon as I have something to report.
Again, thank you very much for bringing this up to our attention.

  • How could I choose some bytes from HEX string and then convert it to a decimal value?

    Hi I am working with an OMRON E5EN temperature controller using VISA serial to get data, I send the Read from Variable Area command and get this string  in hexa 0230 3130 3030 3030 3130 3130 3030 3030 3030 3030 3041 3203 71 or .01000001010000000000A2.q in ASCII this string means:
    02 STX
    3031 3030 Node and subadress
    3030 End Code Normal Completion
    3031 3031 Command Read from Variable Area
    3030 3030 respt code Normal completion
    3030 3030 3030 4132 Hexadecimal A2 = 162  (this is the temperature data that I want to show in decimal)
    03 ETX
    71 Block Check Character
    I want to choose the eight bytes for the temperature data and convert it to a decimal number. I have seen the examples to convert a Hexa string to decimal but I do not know how to choose the specifics bytes that I need.
    I have look for a driver but i didn´t find any. I am a beginner so please include especific topics for me to study in your answer.
    Thanks

    If the response always has the temperature starting with byte 15 and is always 8 bytes in length, you can use the String Subset function to get those bytes out of the string.  Then use Hex String to Number to convert to a decimal number.
    Well someone already beat me to the solution:

  • Converting a Hex String to an Int

    I have a quick question. I am attempting to encode an Integer as a Hex String using Integer.toHexString(), which produces a max of eight hex characters.
    I then need to convert this string back to an integer. I tried using Integer.parseInt(string, 16), but this only works for positive integers, because it expects a negative number to be designated with a "-" sign, which is the behavior of Integer.toString(int, 16).
    I do not wish to represent the "-" sign in that manner, because I want to minimize the length of the hex string.
    This method is time-critical, and I would like it to be as simple as possible, so I am looking for a solution in the standard libraries. Does anybody know of a method to convert the eight character hex representation which includes the sign bit as part of the eighth character back to an int using a method provided by the libraries?

    int intVal = (int)Long.parseLong(str, 16);

  • How to add leading zeros to hex string?

    Hi, I've got the following problem:
    I have a string that represents a 8-digits hexadecimal number. But if the number has less as 8 digits, I need to add the leading zeros. I can't use DecimalFormat, 'cause it works only with decimal numbers. Is there any elegant solution to add the leading zeros to hex string (for example "A3F" to "00000A3F")

    Or better use a StringBuffer for that, though I doubt it's a performance problem in your case.

  • Hex String to 'Ascii Hex' String!

    I am having a mental block and wonder if someone can help!!
    I am reading a serial device and getting a hex string back. I need to display this hex string to the operator within a pop-up box (PDA). The Message box will obviously contain normal text with the HEX code appended to the bottom.
    When I run the code the pop-up box displays the legible message to the user but the HEX string returned appears in the appropriatte ascii characters (because the pop-up displays normal string).
    My question is, how to make an hex string appear within a normal display string indicator 'the same' as it appears in its Hex display indicator:
    0x0A1C - Hex display needs to appear as 0A1C in normal display string indicator.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to use type cast change string to number(dbl)?can it work?

    how to use type cast change string to number(dbl)?can it work?

    Do you want to Type Cast (function in the Advanced >> Data Manipulation palette) or Convert (functions in the String >> String/Number Conversion palette)?
    2 simple examples:
    "1" cast as I8 = 49 or 31 hex.
    "1" converted to decimal = 1.
    "20" cast as I16 = 12848 or 3230 hex.
    "20" converted to decimal = 20.
    Note that type casting a string to an integer results in a byte by byte conversion to the ASCII values.
    32 hex is an ASCII "2" and 30 hex is an ASCII "0" so "20" cast as I16 becomes 3230 hex.
    When type casting a string to a double, the string must conform the the IEEE 32 bit floating point representation, which is typically not easy to enter from the keyboard.
    See tha attached LabView 6.1 example.

  • Single precision to hex string

    Hello, 
    I was wondering how to typecast a SGL Or DBL into a hex string? I tried number to hex, and format into string, etc but can't seem to figure it out. 
    The stirring doesnt need a sgl/dbl and is fine but the heating needs to work at a decimal point. since the device must multiply the heating by 10 (inputting 80 degrees gives out 800 to the device and it sets it to 80 degrees) turning it into a hex string shouldn't be a problem but i can't seem to figure this out. 
    Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks

    I meant like this which most closely represents what you did for the U16 conversion at the bottom half of your code.

  • Problems when changing hex string to integer.

    Hi
    I am trying to change a hex string to an integer. I have done this using the following code:
    theinteger = Integer.parseInt(thestring, 16);
    this works for every hex number up to 7fffffff (Hex). As soon as I go to 80000000 (Hex) a number format exception occurs.
    Does any know why this is happening as the highest number I need to go to is ffffffff (Hex).
    Thanks

    you must parse it to long.
    7FFFFFFFF is the highest number that a int can hold.
    0x80000000 being the lowest negative number.
    Anyway, parsing to long should take care of the problem.

  • Concatenate hex string with ASCII string

    Hello,
    I'm new to LabView and I'm building an application that speaks to a camera. I'm stuck at something that seems quite basic: I need to concatenate a constant string of hex values (0002 040D ...) with an ASCII string of hex characters (00D0A10F, for example), that comes out of a "Number to Hex string" block. The output should be a string of hex values (0002 040D 00D0A10F) and go to the camera, but the concatenate block turns the ASCII string into hex display too, so that every character is converted to two hex symbols....
    I found a very old post where someone claims they found a solution; unfortunately, it's not posted...
    Does someone have an idea what do to do?
    Thanks a lot!
    Michal
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Give this a try - it converts an ASCII string of hex characters into the ascii characters.
    So, if you view the output as hex, it should concatenate properly with your other data.

  • Expression Builder: convert string to number

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble building a field validation rule for bank account numbers.
    The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use a string or text number.
    The validation rule to be implemented is that the last two digits are calculated based on the first 10 (modulo 97).
    However, when I use the Mid function to pick the first characters, I am unable to do any calculations on it. Apparently, the string to number conversion doesn't work (it should work when I read the manual, as it says that when using an operator between two data types, the second type is converted to the first (cf. example of 1234+abcd (should result in 1234 as to the manual))). So I tried '1*Mid(...)' or '0+Mid(...)'. Syntactically the expression builder accepts it and I can save it. BUT when I change the particular value on the screen, it gives me an SSO error (not the Field Validation error message I entered).
    Why isn't there simply a function ToNumber (like ToChar)????? How could I workaround this?
    Any input very welcome!

    Apparently, I was a bit confused when typing the first sentence, it should be:
    The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use an integer or number data type, but have to use String.

  • Which bytes should be edited in a WMF hex string stored in an RTF file in order to change image dimensions?

    I  would like to save the WMF file with proper dimensions as they are in the editor (my saved WMFs have the dimensions of my screen resolution).  They come from a RichEdit.
    Thanks.
    Edit:
    My goal is to convert the images that appear on a RichEdit to another format.
    Here is the fragment of the RTF:
    {\pict\wmetafile8\picw7407\pich9259\picwgoal4199\pichgoal5249 
    010009000003703e020000005a3e02000000050000000b0200000000050000000c022b24ef1c5a
    ffffffffffffff030000000000
    }\cf2\lang1033\b\f1\fs23\par
    For each 2 chars in this string I converted it to hex and saved it through a memory stream. Then I opened it in Paint or GIMP and there is the image.  I even can convert it to a PNG file through ImageMagick tool. But the dimensions are wrong. How to fix
    this?
    I am using Lazarus.
    I could guess that the header is not OK, but how they can be opened by Paint and converted? So I guess the dimensions info is wrong in the header. In GIMP even the dimensions are right, here a link to the GIMP's dialogbox confirmation with the dimensions
    it has encountered in the file (  http://s13.postimg.org/s536tgo9z/Metafile_in_GIMP.png  ).
    So the info is there, but is wrong. When I open the images in Paint, they are wrong. Microsoft Office Picture Manager can also open them correctly, but could not convert them so. I need to do it programmatically. TMetafile Delphi class could not open these
    files as well in order to be converted. So I could only edit the bytes.
    My RichEdit WMF data can not be accepted by ComputeAldusChecksum routine nor get a handle from SetWinMetaFileBits API call, which would convert it to an EMF format.
    procedure TMetafile.ReadWMFStream(Stream: TStream; Length: Longint);
    var
    WMF: TMetafileHeader;
    BitMem: Pointer;
    MFP: TMetaFilePict;
    begin
    NewImage;
    Stream.Read(WMF, SizeOf(WMF));
    if (WMF.Key <> WMFKEY) or (ComputeAldusChecksum(WMF) <> WMF.CheckSum) then
    raise EComponentError.Create('Invalid metafile.'); // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< exception here
    Dec(Length, SizeOf(WMF));
    GetMem(Bitmem, Length);
    with FImage do
    try
    Stream.Read(BitMem^, Length);
    FImage.FInch := WMF.Inch;
    if WMF.Inch = 0 then
    WMF.Inch := 96;
    FWidth := MulDiv(WMF.Box.Right - WMF.Box.Left,25400,WMF.Inch);
    FHeight := MulDiv(WMF.Box.Bottom - WMF.Box.Top,25400,WMF.Inch);
    with MFP do
    begin
    MM := MM_ANISOTROPIC;
    xExt := 0;
    yExt := 0;
    hmf := 0;
    end;
    FHandle := SetWinMetaFileBits(Length, BitMem, 0, MFP); 
    if FHandle = 0 then
    raise EComponentError.Create('Invalid metafile.'); // <<<<<<<<<<<<<< exception here
    Enhanced := False;
    finally
    Freemem(BitMem, Length);
    end;

  • Non-hex character in hex string after upgrade to Yosemite

    Hi,
    When I try to open some of my files I get an error: "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a hex string". I could open the files before.
    The only thing I've done since I opened the file last was to upgrade to Yosemite. The error occurs on both my Mac Pro (late 2013) and Mac Book Pro with Yosemite. Unfortunately, I have no access to a Mac with Mavericks and CS6 but I will try to fix one to verify that the file works there.
    Affected files  (Created in Illustrator CS6 on Mavericks):
    services.ai
    visual guidelines v.0.4.pdf
    visual guidelines.ai
    Tested steps:
    Open previous versions of the same file from our repository
    Update Illustrator CS6 to latest version
    Download Illustrator CC
    Tried to Place the file into another file (same error)
    Tried to repair file Enable content recovery mode | Illustrator CS2-CS5

    Hi svepdesigncenter,
    How you are accessing those files from your repository?
    There might be chances of getting files corrupted when transferring.
    File may have been sent as ascii when it should have been sent as binary or vice versa.
    In 99% of transfers it's ALWAYS safest to zip an AI or eps file before sending it anywhere.

  • Non-hex character in a hex string error message

    Hi everyone,
    I encountered n error message in Illustrator "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a hex string." when trying to open a particular file.
    File was originally created on a Windows 7 PC, tried opening file on Mac OS 10.7.5, same Illustrator version 18. Also tried opening in PDF, Distiller, but didn't help.
    Did tried to change Illustrator Preferences in both Windows and Mac, following the steps in the TecNote:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/500/cpsid_50031.html
    When trying to open the file from the File > Open menu, with the keys held down, it did not open a blank file window, neither did it created a duplicate copy in the Finder where the file is located.
    The file in question had about 15 artboards,  a few embedded images, approx 2.6MB size.
    Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Monika,
    The file was .ai file, as mentioned earlier, was created in Illustrator ver 18.
    Not emailed, stored in the folder, on the Windows PC, not a server. Last saved few days ago, tried to reopen the file from the same computer, but could no longer opened.
    No, Illustrator did not crash, just the error message "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Non-hex character in a hex string."

  • Non-hex character in a hex string

    My Illustrator file will not open in Illustrator and I get the "non-hex character in a hex string" window whenever I try to open it. It does open in Acrobat but nothing else. I can't even save it as a pdf file..
    Is there any way I can get around that or fix it?

    karam,
    The first thing to try is to use File>Place in a new document and see how much, if anything, is saved this way.
    The next thing to try is to repair the file code, which is more difficult. The basics are told in this TechNote, the actual recovery consists of changing/adding/deleting code.

  • Hex String of format "01:02:03:04:05:06" to Integer?

    Yes, that is a Mac Address,
    does anyone know if there is some "comfortable" conversion routine in Cocoa for converting Hex numbers from String to int?
    The ":" could be stripped, of course, they are only delimiters for easier reading...
    Many thanks for any suggestions!
    Cheers,
    Thomas

    After you strip the colons from the string try something like:
    NSScanner *scan = [NSScanner scannerWithString:hexValue];
    unsigned val;
    [scan scanHexInt:&val];
    'val' will now contain the integer value of the string. 'hexValue' is the hex string. You might need to prepend "0x" to the start of the string too, after removing the colons.

Maybe you are looking for
