How to display ascii data?
When I'm viewing a bin using the built-in hex editor I can see the ascii representation in the right column. How can I display this ascii value as a table (or constant) item? For example, let's say the values at 7000-7004 are:
48 45 4C 4C 4F
When I open the table item which points to this location I want to see this for the output:
HELLO
If I choose "hex digits" for the item output I see 48 45 4c etc., and if I choose "string" I see blank cells. Is there a way to display the ascii equivalent of the hex data?
48 45 4C 4C 4F

Actually Nissan does The prom ID is stored in ascii. The request is more of a novelty, the ascii data has no importance from a tuning aspect, I was trying to eliminate the use of the hex editor. I was just surprised the hex editor could do something that the tunerpro interface couldn't. Thanks for the info, I'll just use the hex editor when I want to look at that stuff.Mangus wrote:There isn't a way of doing that, unfortunately. Can I ask why this would be important?
Ford embeds strings into their bins I bet, huh?
Totally a reasonable request. I'll consider adding it!ericruhl wrote:Actually Nissan does The prom ID is stored in ascii.

Create an XDF table and select "ASCII String" as the output type. Set the number of rows or columns to match the number of characters in the string, and set the address to where the string starts in the bin. That should result in a table of cells each containing an ASCII character in the string.
