B: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Many of the unit’s configuration procedures require assembling a series of options (represented
as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte). Convert the resulting binary value to a
hexadecimal representation.
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal
Following are two simple ways to convert binary numbers to hexadecimals.
Conversion Table
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B
(for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a hexadecimal representation,
the upper and lower four bits are treated separately, resulting in a two-digit hexadecimal number
(in this case, 4C). Use the following table to convert values from binary to hexadecimal.
