concatenate two 8bits data to create a 16bits datum

[roberto.venetz]

Hi everyone,

I'm building an PDA application which receives 8bits data from a bluetooth transmitter. Actually, I'm working with 16bits data so I need to concatenate two 8bits data to rebuild a 16bits datum. Does somebody have a start point to help me to do that?

Thank you

Have you just tried the data conversion vi's in the Numerical palette?

No I didn't. But, I receive two different values at two different time. So, if I convert a 8bits datum to a 16bits datum it doesn't resolve my problem to transform two data of 8bits to one datum of 16bits, does it?

Are you wanting the two 8-bit numbers to be joined together to form a 16-bit number, one is a high byte and the other the low byte?  If so you can use the Split Number and Join Numbers functions found in the Data Manipulation palette (it is in the Advanced palette in LV 7.1).  Join Numbers will join high byte and low byte to form a 16-bit number and Split Number does the reverse.

Just what I was going to suggest!

Yes this is exactly what I want to do!

I'll try, thanks
