Sending Hex Strings in Diagnostics

I am using Emulate Device in Diagnostics and I'm trying to send a series of hex values as bytes to my device by putting the following string in the Message to Send box:

$91,$03,$01,$00,$01

However, when the string reaches the buffer, it sees each individual character instead of the hex values. How do I signify that I'm looking to send an individual HEX value ($91) to the device instead of three individual characters ($ - 9 - 1)

Cheers,
Matthew

  • Nevermind. I actually found the answer in an earlier thread. For anyone looking for it, the answer is below:

    You need to use the Diagnostics window in Netlinx Studio and not the standalone which is what I was using. You also need to check the String Expressions checkbox. I was not able to get this to work using Control a Device though...at least, I couldn't catch the execution in debug if I did it this way...I was able to catch it when I ran it through Emulate a Device.
