StringifyBytesConverter

class ccsdspy.converters.StringifyBytesConverter(format='hex')

Bases: Converter

Post-processing conversion which converts byte arrays or multi-byte numbers to strings in numeric representations such as binary, hexadecimal, or octal.

To convert individual bytes, the input field should be defined as a PacketArray constructed with data_type="uint" and bit_length=8. Otherwise, each element is converted as a single entity.

If the field is an array, the shape of the array is retained. The strings generated are not padded to a fixed length.

The converted strings contain prefixes such as 0b (binary), 0x (hex), or 0o (octal). If the number is signed and negative, the prefixes change to -0b (binary), -0x (hex), or -0o (octal).
