Hi Baffled,
There is something wrong with what you have posted here!
The string you show only has 17 bytes.
17 bytes - 2(bytes of header) = 15
15/4=3.75
Double check the # of bytes in the header and verify that there should be 5 values. I am guessing the mantissa may be padded with zeros.
Here is a LV example that shows how to work with the parts of of IEEE 754 representation.

There is one more thing I should mention. IF YOU ARE USING LV, there are data manipulation operators located under the "Advanced" pallette that can swap bytes, words, etc.
If you have follow-up Q's and you
are workin gin LV, then post to the LV general forum for more help.
If not using LV, please ignore this distration,
Ben
