Viewing individual bytes of data

[Beaton]

I am trying to read the individual bytes of data from a file format that LabView does not deal with. How Would I open the file and see the numeric vualue of each byte in LabView, if it is even possible?

Thanks

Read the file as a binary data file you can the word size is I16, you can easily convert this to 2 1-Byte words.

One way or another, a file is just a long string of bytes. If you know the structure of the file, you can create appropriate code to parse it. Just read the file as a plain string and feed it to "string to byte array", you'll end up with an array where each element is one byte as U8 representation. Just use "index array" to get the element you want. (Of course you could do the same with substring to get one character, then set the display to hex).
