Serial read, Unpack and plot

‎04-26-2018 04:06 PM

First of all I am totally new in LABVIEW and sorry if this is repetitive question but honestly I could not figure it out. I am reading data from 3, 12bit ADCs and streaming the data constantly to computer by USB (UART) . Each package of data stream is like the photo below.

It has 6 bytes of data  from 3 ADCS which the 8 bits LSB of each ADC is in one byte and the rest 4 bits MSB is in another byte. Also there are 2 bytes with "z" and "y" character at the end of the package of data to realize the start and end of each package. l do not know how to unpack the data with LABVIEW. I really appreciate any Help.
