HEXw.

Converts hexadecimal positive binary values to either integer (fixed-point) or real (floating-point) binary values

Category: Numeric

Syntax

HEXw.

Default:	8
Range:	1-16
Tip:	If w<16, HEXw. converts the input value to positive integer binary values, treating all input values as positive (unsigned). If w is 16, HEXw. converts the input value to real binary (floating-point) values, including negative values.

Note: Different operating environments store floating-point values in different ways. However, HEX16. reads hexadecimal representations of floating-point values with consistent results if the values are expressed in the same way that your operating environment stores them. [cautend]
