WordToHex

Syntax:

    stringvar = WordToHex(number)

Command Availability:

Available on all microcontrollers.

Explanation:

The WordToHex function converts a word number into hexadecimal format. The input number should be a word variable, or a fixed number between 0 and 65535 inclusive. After running the function, the string variable stringvar contains a 4-digit hexadecimal number.

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 WordToHex(CurrentLocation)          ' <<< the WordToHex instruction
        HSerPrint ":"
        'Read Word and send
        EPRead CurrentLocation, CurrWord
        HSerPrint Hex(CurrWord)
        'Send carriage return/line feed
        HSerPrintCRLF
    Next

Key line: WordToHex(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.
