Hexadecimal codes

Denis

Hi

I have to program a Vidikron plasma. In the manual all serial codes are listed as Hexadecimal code ( ex: 9FH 80H 60H 4EH 00H CDH )
How I have to write my code to get correct command ?

SEND_STRING dvPLASMA, "$9FH,$80H,$60H,$4EH,$00H,$CDH" ?

OR

SEND_STRING dvPLASMA, "$9F,$80,$60,$4E,$00,$CD" ?

Hi Denis,

The first option you posted won't compile and will generate a syntax error.

You're 2nd option is correct:
SEND_STRING dvPLASMA, "$9F,$80,$60,$4E,$00,$CD"

The $ denotes Hex for AMX.

Denis

Thanks

Thanks Joe !

One thing...I don't know why I don't try this before post this thread, I'm comfused...........

The 'H' I believe indicates that it is a Hex value. The letters would be a dead give away but what if the hex value is 15 or 29. Is it hex or deciamal or other.

True, but the NetLinx compiler doesn't recognize that, which is the issue in this example.

Yes, you are correct Dave, I was only trying to indicate that the 'H' although written and denotes Hex it is not used with AMX programming. Sorry for the confusion.
