read bit from DDE link

[Yixiao-uncle]

Hi

Im using Labview in order to acquire data, by DDE link, from an FT-IR analyzer.

The DDE request output is a string, but i need to read bit status (like1011100... etc).

How can I transform string output in bit pattern??

I hope somebody can help me.

Thank you very much

Antonio

Hi Antonio,

you can use the "String to Byte Array" function. With "index array" and "number to boolean array" you can get the single bits.

Hope it helps.
