Need help parsing a string

[Krickette]

OK, I have a program that I think is working so far. I'm sending instructions to polhemus, then getting a string of 1s and 0s back. 

Now in that string, there are 4 16 bit segments that I need with every itteration. These are my 4 data points in quarternians. Does that make sense?

So say I'm getting

0101000101010101010100101101010101010101101010011010101010110100

I need these 4 pieces:

0101000101010101

0101001011010101

0101010110101001

1010101010110100

And that will make up 1 measurement. 

So then I want it to loop again and give me 4 measurements again from this continuous string of 1s and 0s. 

Then I need each of these segments converted into a usable number (aka not binary). 

This is the acquesition section of my program with what I have so far... I don't think it's doing the right thing yet, I just pasted in a part of another file I found in the examples to see if I could modify that and get it working. 

If any of y'all can help it would seriously make my day!

Is this what you want? There are also different ways to do this besides string subset

 

[GregFreeman]

DOH! easier way.

[Krickette]

That looks very  promising! I can't really tell what some of those functions are, so it's hard to tell... Any chance you could upload a .vi or tell me where some of those functions are located or what they're called? I'm fairly new to this so I don't have a lot of these in my head just yet.

[GregFreeman]

Look at my second example. It's a better way. The first function is Scan Value, and the numeric constant is an I64. The next is a type cast to an array of I16 numerics. I don't know if you need I16 or U16, but that is something that's easily changed.

[Krickette]

I feel bad, you're being so helpful and I'm still pretty lost. I have everything except for the type and the output of the type cast. Where do you find the things  you're using? 

And if I have this all right, where is this output going? I've never used that type of output before. Is it like a variable I can call on or what?

Edit: I figured out how to set things as I16 and I64, so that part is a little more clear. I just don't know what the number with the arrows beside it on top of the type cast or the output of the type cast are. I can't seem to find those things anywhere. Here's my version of what you uploaded all by itself. 

[GregFreeman]

It's an array constant. Just drop one on your block diagram and drag the numeric constant into it. Then right-click the output of the type cast function and choose create indicator.
