just guessing, but it sounds like it takes it's input as hex, just open up windows caluclator/kcalc set it to scientific mode, enter the value and switch to hex mode. BTW, i recomend a strong understanding of how hexdecimal numbers relate to decimal numbers and binary numbers since bases besides decimal are used all over the place in the OS dev world.
