Processing raw data from sensors

[mgulin]

Dear all,

Please let me to explain you the problem I'm dealing with. I'm trying to get some data from sensor and store them into a .txt file via serial RS485 communication. Communication itself is not a problem - I have a VI for reading holding registers of a sensor, but processing of this raw data is where I have stuck.

Here is an example of what I have to do:

What do I have:

0000 0199 0001 00EC ... (string displayed in HEX format)

What do I want:

[409, 65772, ...] (converted string into integer/decimal format, data type: array of integers/decimals)

00000199 -> 409

000100EC -> 65772

Best regards,

Marko

Use type cast function.

Can this Type cast function be defined with different input types?

Example of array structure:

1-10 unsigned long

11-15 signed long

16-30 unsigned long

I know that I can split this array in 3 arrays, and then cast each of these arrays independently. But can this be done with a single type cast function?

No.  An array can only consist of one type of data.

Also, a typecast function can only cast a number to a single type.
