AF/Analysis Number Base Conversion Functions

There are no number base conversion functions available in AF Analysis. There are many situations where I need to convert numbers between different 'number bases'. I frequently work with MODBUS devices and there are many times number base conversions are needed to properly get data. Example: Convert decimal to hex, hex to binary, etc. I test many of my functions using Excel before implementing them in Analysis. Excel has functions such as HEX2BIN, DEC2HEX, etc. I'm actually surprised that, after many years of AF/Analysis development, these type functions are not available. These are valuable functions that should be implemented.

    Still no number base conversion functions - what a shame. This is needed badly in my world.

    I've encountered use cases for two different clients in the past six months that needed this type of feature, and ended up with overly convoluted AF solutions interpreting the numbers bit by bit. Supported
