serial to parallel converter in labview

[Ralp]

Hi. Does anybody know how to convert serial data to parallel data using labview? I already used shift registers but it's not working.

[altenbach]

We probably need much more details.

(have a look here for some ideas)

i just want to convert 1 bit serial binary data to parallel.

[Ralp]

i just need to convert binary bitstream into parallel. Can I use for loop for shift registers? If so, how can I use it?

[altenbach]

To "parallel" what? Are you talking about an output interface or a data format? Please be much more specific? What is the data format of the "bit stream"?

What makes you think that FOR loop and shift registers are the anwer? That sounds pretty vague. What do you have in mind?

[Ralp]

I want to convert it to parallel boolean (true or false) by storing one bit of binary data in every registers so i can combine it in 1D array.

You still need to be much clearer. LabVIEW does not have "registers". LabVIEW is a programming language, not a circuit simulator.

What is the datatype of the serial data? booleans, bits, bytes, U8, etc.

What is the datatype of the parallel data? 1D array of what? How big can it get? What do you want to do with it?

Do you get one boolean at a time and simply want to append it to a boolen array? That would be trivial. What have you tried?

You should gather/generate your data inside the loop, then when you wire it out of the loop, right click the tunnel, select tunnel mode -> indexing.

This might do what you want it to.

I'm thinking this is what he's asking but it sounds like another homework question so I'll also ask:  Show us what you have tried.  Post your attempt and we'll help you through it.  This is an easy task but it requires some knowledge of basic LabVIEW structures.  If you're a new LabVIEW coder we can certainly explain things for you but you do need to show us your effort.
