binaryVectorToHex

Convert binary vector value to hexadecimal

Syntax

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex(binaryVector)

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex(binaryVector,bitOrder)

Description

This function is part of Data Acquisition Toolbox™, and converts binary data represented by a vector of 1s and 0s. To convert binary data from a string, character vector, or literal, you can use the MATLAB^® functions bin2dec and dec2hex. See Hexadecimal and Binary Values.

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex(binaryVector) converts the input binary vector to a hexadecimal.

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex(binaryVector,bitOrder) converts the input binary vector using the specified bit orientation.

Examples

Convert Binary Vector to Hexadecimal Value

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex([0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1])

hexVal =

     '3D'

Convert Array of Binary Vectors to Hexadecimal Values

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex([1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 ; 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0])

hexVal =

  2×1 cell array

    {'C4'}
    {'0A'}

The output is appended with 0s to make all hex values the same length character vectors.

Convert Binary Vector with LSB First

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex([0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1],'LSBFirst')

hexVal =

     'BC'

Convert Binary Vector Array with LSB First

hexVal = binaryVectorToHex([1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 ; 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0],'LSBFirst')

hexVal =

  2×1 cell array

    {'23'}
    {'50'}

If necessary, the output is appended with 0s to make all hex values the same length character vectors.

Note

The binary vector array is converted to a cell array of hexadecimal numbers. If you input a single binary vector, it is converted to a hexadecimal character vector.

Input Arguments

binaryVector — Binary vector to convert to hexadecimal

numeric vector of 1s and 0s

Binary vector to convert to hexadecimal, specified as a numeric vector with 0s and 1s. The vector can be a column or row vector.

bitOrder — Bit order for binary vector representation

'MSBFirst' (default) | 'LSBFirst'

Bit order for the binary vector representation, specified as a character vector or string. Accepted values are:

• 'MSBFirst' — The first element of the binary vector is the most significant bit.

• 'LSBFirst' — The first element of the binary vector is the least significant bit.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

hexVal — Hexadecimal value

character vector

Hexadecimal value returned as a character vector. Multiple values are returned as a cell array of character vectors.
