How to ready dynamic data

[manoj_p]

Hi Friends,

I am new to LabView and I am using LabView 8.5 from last 3 weeks.

My requirements are I am getting data and I need to divide that data in frames of 8 bytes.

For example

case 1) I am getting INPUT DATA of 15 bytes

Case 2) I am getting INPUT DATA of 60 bytes

INPUT DATA can vary in any range.

In both cases I want to divide INPUT data it in frames of 8 byte.

This means INPUT DATA is not of fixed length and I don't know which Data Type and Control to use for it.

Thanks

Manoj

I would use string as container of my bytes, since most drivers accept string data to be sent. The split up the string into frames of 8 bytes use a while loop and get string subsets of 8 characters, until less than or equal to 8 characters are left in the string. The frames can be stored in an array of strings to be created using the auto indexing option of the output terminal.
