8 bit Array onto 10 bit Array

Hi
I am trying to convert a array of U8 into a 10 bits array (take the first 8 bits then add the next 2 bits of the next byte then the remaning 6 bits with the next 4 bits and so on). The ram we are using is 8bit but the
CCD image it actually 10 bit, i have attached a couple of jpegs to show what i have done and i was wandering weather there is a expert around to say if this is the most efficient way of doing this. I have a large
arrray to convert and would like to make it as quick as possible.
Thanks for any help Gary

Gary,
Reshaping an array of bits is quite easy and (imho) the block diagram code is much easier to understand.
For arrays of a different size you will just have to calculate the first dimension for the resize operation.

WinXP-64 bit corrupts existing RAID array

I've got an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard running Win XP Pro SP2 on two 36 gig SATA Raptors. Everything was working fine, but I wanted to try the 64 bit version of XP. Grabbed an old 80 gig PATA drive and threw that in the case. Unplugged the SATA drives so as not to risk messing with the existing working OS. Installed the latest 1218 x64 beta and it worked well.
The problem was that when I shut down and reconnected my old RAID array, windows wouldn't boot from it. I lost everything and had to rebuild Windows from scratch. So now I know to never unplug the SATA drives
Rebuilt WinXP on the RAID array and then tried rebooting with the PATA drive with the 64 bit OS. Came up with the "drive needs checking" screen, and proceeds to "fix" the RAID array while ignoring my frantic pounding on the Logitech USB keyboard to stop. Rebooted and yes, the new install was nuked. Okay, since it's gone anyway, reboot to the 64 bit OS and make sure it's got the 64 bit RAID drivers installed.
Reinstall WinXP on the RAID array, reboot to the 64 bit OS on the other drive and the same old scandisk comes and nukes it AGAIN!
So now the PATA drive is sitting on the shelf again, unless someone here can suggest what is causing this problem.
System Specs
Athlon64 3500
gig of PQI 3200 at 2-2-2-5 2.6
2x36 gig Raptors on ports 3-4
Plextor PX-716a DVD+_RW
Visiontek X800 Pro.

The first time you re-installed Win 32 on the raid that was a bit drastic. A repair ought to have done the job.
The problem was probably that you disconnected the array but that's where the boot.ini was and that file needed to be modified to add the path to the Win64 install.
Since you took out the array the Win64 install created a new boot.ini on the PATA drive. Even when you tell BIOS to boot off the array, Windows has a bad habit of looking at the IDE channels & using the boot.ini if it finds one there - but the file it found didn't point to the array of course.
So basically if you already have Win32 on the array I would leave that array connected normally when installing Win64 on the PATA drive and all should be well.
I've installed Win64 on the same array as my Win32 install and they co-exist happily. I reckon that's the most efficient way to do it. The main thing is to make separate partitions for Win32, Win64 and data files when you install Win32 in the first place. The two OSs can share the same data files, incuding stuff like email.

How do I convert an array of BYTES (where each BYTE represents a bit) into a single Hex number?

I am reading a signal from a USB-8451. This signal is stored as an array where each element represents a bit in the signal, but is stored in the array as a byte. How do I convert this array into a single Hex number. I attatched what I have so far, there are a few extra things to help me see what ia going on. One code uses Queue and the other uses arrays, let me know if you can help.

That makes absolutely no sense. What do you think is happening when you write the digital lines? You're setting a pin high. That voltage is being generated by the 8451x. I think you're not understanding what your mentor is saying. If it's an I2C device then you should be able to use the I2C function to simply talk to it. You still have not indicated what the device is, so there's little more I can say about that aspect of it.
As far as the conversion is concerned, you basically need loop through your array of "bits", taking 16 at time since you said you have 16-bit values. It's not clear from your code whether your eventual goal is to get a numeric value or a string. This does not appear to be a subVI, so a simply numeric indicator formatted to display in hex format should be quite adequate. The array you are generating is an array of rings, whose datatype is I32, but they will have values of 0 or 1. You can use the example just posted, or you can use the attached variation.

How to add 16 bit message sequential number to the byte array

HI Rolf.k.
Thank you for the small program it was helpfull.
You got right about that proberly there will be conflict with some spurios data, I can already detect that when writing the data to a spreadsheet file.
I writes the data in such a way, that in each line there will be a date, a timestamp, a tab and a timestamp at the end. That means two columns.
When i set given samplerate up, that controls the rate of the data outflow from the device, (1,56 Hz - 200 Hz),   the data file that i write to , looks unorderet.
i get more than one timestamp and severel datavalues in every line and so on down the spreadsheet file.
Now the question is: Could it be that the function that writes the data to the file, can't handle the speed of the dataflow in such a way that the time stamp cant follow with the data flowspeed. so i'm trying to set the timestamp to be with fractions of the seconds by adding the unit (<digit>) in the timestamp icon but its not working. Meaby when i take the fractions off a second within the timestamp i can get every timestamp with its right data value. Am i in deeb water or what do You mean!??
AAttached Pics part of program and a logfile over data written to file

DSC - Write Trace - Bit Array or Logical

Hi,
we are trying to write digital signals to a citadel database. The polymorphic function "Write Trace.vi" has the types logical and bit array.
First of all I have created a new database and tried to write 10 digital signals of type boolean to the database. Unfortunately I get an error: "SPW_WriteBool.vi:2". I only can write the data into the citadel database if I convert the boolean to 0 and 1 values and write them via the numeric type. But this causes an overhead of factor 32.
Is there a sample vi of using the "Write Trace.vi" function of type Logical or Bit Array. I've noticed that the trace which I have created is a analog one of type double. In another database of our company I've found a discrete trace of type double. Is this the problem?
Kind Regards
Joachim

Many thanks for your help. MAX would be a nice and easy way to view the data, by the way, I try to view them with the Mixed Signal Graph. I am very new to LabVIEW and I am fighting now in correct reading of my data. I have 32 digital channels - each value of them is packed in an U32. When making a loop of my example 2 times for each channel should contain 2 values. But how can I program that the first boolean of the U32 is part of digital channel 1 - second boolean is part of digital channel 2 and so on? I've read that I can only transpose 2D arrays. Enclosed I've programmed the visualization of 2 digital channels containing 32 datapoints. But the result should be 32 channels with 2 datapoints.
Kind Regards,
Joachim

Using conversion to array to add 16 bit grayscale images

Dear all,
Usual disclaimers, first post, tried to search using a variety of terms, no luck, so posting a new question!
I am trying to perform a running a verage of a 16 bit grayscale image. I do not have access to the Vision development module. My 'workaround' is to grab the image, convert to array and then, using a shift register, to add this array to that acquired at the previous loop iteration. The problem I am having is that the shift register, despite being fed data in a 16 bit unsigned word formatt, returns 8 bit data. The add function is then trying to add 16 bit to 8 bit data and returns an empty array.
Can anyone help? Surely it must be possible to use shift registers with arrays of 16 bit data?
Any help appreciated!

Shift registers work with all datatypes. Can you show us your code?

How to chnage number of bits in every packet of a byte array

Hi I have an array of byte array of 1 and 0s. I would like to make sure every pack of 1 or 0s contains 8 number
I can use this example to explain it better. Lets say I have this array
111111110000000111111100000000
As can be first pack of 0s and the second pack of 1s contain 7 bits. I would like to programaticaaly change it to 8 so the result should be
11111111000000001111111100000000
As can be seen now evey pack of 1s or 0s contains 8 element . Could you please help me on this.A sample code would be great
Many thanks

Save 16 bit array as image

Hello,
I am a new labview user. I am trying to save an image which is being
correctly displayed on the front panel of my program as an intensity
graph. I am able to get a 2D array of the pixel values (using the
variant to data function, the camera I use has an Active X interface
with labview). The camera allows 16 bit or 12 bit digitization options.
I would like to save the image pizel values as a 16 bit BMP or TIFF
file. However, from what I understand, the flatten pixmap option in
labview does not support 16 bit images. How do I go about saving my
images? Any feedback would be extremely useful.
Thanks,

Managing bit flags in an array of bytes

In my program, I have a large array of bytes. Some arbitrarily long groups of bytes in this array act as groups of bit flags. I need to be able to retrieve and manipulate these bit flags. I read that the best way to do this is with bitwise operations; something I have never learned before. I wrote methods that seem to work, but because I have never done anything like this before, can someone check my work?
Here is an example program, where the only contents of the byte array is a single two-byte grouping of 16 bit flags:
public class test
    static byte[] bytes = new byte[2];
    static byte[] pow2 = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, -128};
    static byte[] pow2i = {-2, -3, -5, -9, -17, -33, -65, 127};
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        writeBitFlag(0, 6, true);
        for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
            System.out.println("Flag " + i + ": " + getBitFlag(0, i));
        System.out.println();
        writeBitFlag(0, 12, true);
        invertBitFlag(0, 0);
        invertBitFlag(0, 0);
        invertBitFlag(0, 1);
        for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
            System.out.println("Flag " + i + ": " + getBitFlag(0, i));
    }//end main
    public static boolean getBitFlag(int startAddress, int flag)
        return (bytes[startAddress + flag / 8] & pow2[flag %= 8]) == pow2[flag];
    }//end getBitFlag
    public static void invertBitFlag(int startAddress, int flag)
        bytes[startAddress + flag / 8] ^= pow2[flag % 8];
    }//end invertBitFlag
    public static void writeBitFlag(int startAddress, int flag, boolean flagVal)
        if (flagVal)
            bytes[startAddress + flag / 8] |= pow2[flag % 8];
        else
            bytes[startAddress + flag / 8] &= pow2i[flag % 8];
    }//end writeBitFlag
}//end class testDoes this look like the right way to do what I am trying to do?

You could try BitSet which provides these function for you.
public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        byte[] bytes = new byte[2];
        writeBitFlag(bytes, 6, true);
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length*8; i++)
            System.out.println("Flag " + i + ": " + getBitFlag(bytes, i));
        System.out.println();
        writeBitFlag(bytes, 12, true);
        invertBitFlag(bytes, 0);
        invertBitFlag(bytes, 0);
        invertBitFlag(bytes, 1);
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length*8; i++)
            System.out.println("Flag " + i + ": " + getBitFlag(bytes, i));
    }//end main
    public static boolean getBitFlag(byte[] bytes, int flag) {
        return ((bytes[flag >> 3] >> flag) & 1) != 0;
    public static void invertBitFlag(byte[] bytes, int flag) {
        bytes[flag >> 3] ^= (1 << (flag & 7));
    public static void writeBitFlag(byte[] bytes, int flag, boolean flagVal) {
        if (flagVal)
            bytes[flag >> 3] |= (1 << (flag & 7));
        else
            bytes[flag >> 3] &= ~(1 << (flag & 7));
}//end class test

I have a small production client looking to run 1 workstation running Mac Lion 10.7.3 and two work stations running Windows7 64 bit. They will all be talking to the same storage array through 8Gb FC. What is there most cost effective way to do this?

Thank you for your help.
The client has already made the jump to 8Gb including HBA's, switch and RAID Storage.
The other question will be if they need a seperate Mac Server to run the Meta Data or are they able to use the current Mac they are running to do this?
The Mac is a 201073 model they say with 12 Dual Core 2.66Mhz processors and 16 GB of Memory. This system is currently doing rendering. It has the XSAN Client but I understand for the solution to work they need to also run XSAN Server on a MDC.

Read an excel file and convert to a 1-D array of long, 32-bit integer?

My vi right now reads an column of numbers as a 1-D array, but I need to input the numbers manually, and for what I'm trying to do, there could be anywhere between 100 to 500 numbers to input. I want the vi to be able to read the excel file and use that column of numbers for the rest, which the data type is long (32-bit integer).
I have an example vi that is able to get excel values, but the output data type is double (64-bit real).
I need to either be able to convert double(64-bit real) data to long (32-bit integer), or find another way to get the values from the excel file.

Just to expand on what GerdW is saying. There are many programs that hold exclusive access to a file. So if a file is opened in Excel, the LabVIEW cannot access the file.
What is the exact error code? Different error codes will point to different issues.
Make sure the csv file is exactly where you think it is and LabVIEW is pointing to the right place. (I'm just going through stupid things I have done)

There is no real size limit. (except for the natural limits of arrays because the size is a 32bit integer, etc.)
... of course if you ever plan to convert it back to an integer using "boolean array to number", you better stay below 64 bits.

IMAQ Array to Image Bit Shift?

Hi,
I've been working with some 12 bit images from a camera and saving the results as 16 bit TIFFs using some of the Vision VIs. I can save and read back in the TIFFs and all of the data stays intact, but if I try to open the saved TIFFs in another reader (e.g. MATLAB), the returned data is incorrect. Opening the raw TIFF files and looking at the image data (little endian) in bytes, numbers like 234 001 [490] end up becoming 234 129 [33258]. From the attached VI, it becomes clear there's a problem when you simply put in zeros to the array and try to open up the resultant TIFF in MATLAB (0 goes to 2^15) and yet LabView reads in the TIFF just fine. While I can work around this problem, I only know I that need to work around it if I know a priori that the TIFF is from LabView. Is there some resolution to this problem? I'm thinking some kind of bit shifting to the data in LabView before converting the array to an image. Thanks.

32 Bit Image to Image Array

I am attempting to get an image array from a 32 Bit image. I
attempted to use IMAQ ImageToArray. This did not work when
passing in a 32bit RGB image. It works fine after I convert the
image to 8 or 16 bit image, but this is a step I am attempting to
remove. So, my main questions is there a way to get an Array of
an image directly from a 32 Bit Image?

In the Color Utilities there is a function called IMAQ Color Image to
Array. That is the one you want to use. Hopefully you have the Vision
Development module or you may not have access to this vi.

What you are asking for is not really clear for me... I assume you want your array of numeric values to be replaced by a boolean array.
Also, I was not sure about what numeric value has to correspond with TRUE or FALSE...
