Hi,
I need to save a DAT file selecting "Low -> High" as Byte Order, but nothing works. Doesn't matter what I do It's always stored as "High -> Low"
I tried assigning the value "Low -> High" to the variables FileHdByteOrder & DataSetByteOrder but when saving the values return to "High -> Low" and are ignored.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Marc,
I don't think you can change that behavior. My understanding is that DIAdem will always write Little-Endian, and the ByteOrder flag is for reading only. What program only supports Big-Endian reading of DIAdem *.dat files?!

Hi Brad,
Thanks for the clarification.
We generate the DAT files with LabVIEW (any byte order can be selected) and then we use a custom Java application to manage a database results from the DAT files.
Sometimes we need to work on the files using DIAdem but gives us many problems as our Java application only supports Big-Endian DAT files. I think that we will have to implement that feature in our application.
Any way could be nice to select the byte order in DIAdem.
Best regards,
Marc.
