I am using FAMOS, version 3.2. I have created FAMOS files according to the .dat file description in the imc Curve Manager manual version 3.2, chapter 9 (File Format).

I use subVIs for creating the |XX keys for the FAMOS file format. Attached example FAMOS Key CB.vi. I have corresponding VIs for each key that is needed for the FAMOS file format. The file is created in a main VI that concatenates the key strings from each subVIs and writes the complete string to a .dat file using the Write Characters To File.vi (found from the File I/O subpalette in the block diagram Functions palette).

Note that the raw data in the |CS key need to be reversed from big-endian representation (used in LabView) to little-endian representation (used in FAMOS). Attached example Reverse Byte Order in Double Number.vi.
