How to combine even and odd index of an array

[tintin_99]

Hi,

I have an array (u8). Let's the array is as below. Array size is always even

214

115

234

117

111

123

I would like to combine every even index value with the next odd index value and make 16bit array . odds are high bits and evens are low bits. Could you please let me how can I do it in LabVIEW?

115-214  or binary  0111001111010110

117-234

123-111

Hi tintin,

typecast your U8 array to an U16 array. SwapBytes if needed:

Or use DecimateArray with Join…

Decimate 1D Array followed by Join Numbers

You can also just use Type Cast to a U16.  At least on my system, you will have to use Swap Bytes after it to get the order you want.
