Is there an easy way in LabTalk to convert decimal numbers into hexadecimal or binary strings?

I want to run a loop from 0 to 255 but use the hexadecimal string for example to generate a name.

The only thing I found in the manual was the function HEX() which returns the decimal number. Why is there nothing for the other way round? And for binary numbers? Do I have to write my own function? Or does anybody already have such a script?
Thanks, Tilman.

You would need to write your own code for this. You can write an OriginC function for hex strings pretty easily:

string gethex(int iValue)
{
string str;
str.Format("%X", iValue);
return str;
}

After building this you can use it in LabTalk:

%A = gethex(myintegervalue)$;
%A =;

For example:

myval = 16770219;
%A = gethex(myval);
%A =;

would yield:
