How would I receive an array of hex values with UDP read?

Hi

I am transmitting an array of hex values using a multicast sender. Is it possible to configure the UDP read vi to parse this data appropriately ?

Thanks

Easy : type cast the data string to a U8 array, as illustrated in the attached image. The "Type cast" primitive is in the "Advanced >> Data manipulation" subpalette.

I tried doing that but I am unable to feed the output from the typecast into an array numeric indicator.
Thanks

Have you wired an array of numeric indicators (U8) as secondary input to the typecast node, as in the example provided ?

So I typecast it into U32. Then I wire it to an array indicator -> but the output from the typecast node and the array indicator are not compatible.

Thanks

Use an ARRAY of U8 as input !
If your problem persists, post your vi, I'll fix it for you...

I fixed it by using the String to Byte Array instead of the typecast vi. I fed this to a byte array and it works now .. though all the bytes are flipped but that I can deal with 🙂

Thanks a bunch
