IntegerToHex

Syntax:

    stringvar = IntegerToHex(number)

Command Availability:

Available on all microcontrollers.

Explanation:

The IntegerToHex function converts an Integer number into hexadecimal format. The input number should be an Integer variable, or a fixed number between -32768 and 32767 inclusive. After running the function, the string variable stringvar contains a 4-digit hexadecimal number representing the value’s two’s-complement bit pattern.

Example:

    'Set chip model
    #chip 16F1936

    'Set up hardware serial connection
    #define USART_BAUD_RATE 9600
    #define USART_TX_BLOCKING


    'Send EEPROM data over serial connection
    'Uses Hex to display as hexadecimal
    For CurrentLocation = 0 to 65535
        'Send location
        HSerPrint IntegerToHex(CurrentLocation)          ' <<< the IntegerToHex instruction
        HSerPrint ":"
        'Read Integer and send
        EPRead CurrentLocation, CurrInteger
        HSerPrint Hex(CurrInteger)
        'Send carriage return/line feed
        HSerPrintCRLF
    Next

Key line: IntegerToHex(CurrentLocation) — formats the current address as a fixed 4-digit hex string, so addresses line up neatly in the terminal output regardless of their value.
