Reed Solomon Symbol Encoder (Decimal to Binary Converter)

[josephkirmani]

Can any body guide me, how to convert the output of Reed Solomon Symbol Encoder from decomal to binary. See attached file for details.

I would really much appreciate any help in this regard

I am on my phone so I can't look at your VI, but RS encoding is for error correction right? What do you mean by wanting to convert the encoder output from decimal to binary?

I'm assuming that the output you are getting are numeric, say arrays of U32.  Do you just want to look at the binary representation, or actually translate it into an "array of bits"?  For the former, just right-click the indicator and change Display Format to Binary.  For the latter, try the Number to Array function on the Boolean palette (it gives an array of Boolean, 32 elements for a U32).

Dear Mike,

The output i am getting is in decimal format. But I need to convert it to array of bits in binary.

Dear Bob,

Your second option is not working. I want to convert the output of RS encoder in to array of bits (binary).

Try something like this:

This is what Bob was talking about...

Dear Mike, 

this solution is not giving me the desire result. I want to get the binary equivalent of the decimal no. generated by the encoder. But what I am getting is shown in the picture below:

As you can only for the Left most digit "3" it gives the right output.

What data type is the RS Encoder outputting?  I'm guessing it is U32, which means you are getting what you should.  Notice that the loner TRUE is the 33rd element.  So you have 32 bits to represent a 3.

thank you for the guidance.

It's like they say,

"There's only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't..."
