Byte conversion

Question

I have a read function that collects a vector of nbytes of data from an external memory device using memory addresses.  These bytes are an amalgamation of multiple data types (U16, U32, doubles) that need to be parsed into their respective variables.  I'm doing this by taking the corresponding elements in the vector, flipping them to the correct for endianess, and type casting the multiple bytes to a single value.
To speed up the data transfer process, I can transfer multiple vectors of nbytes as a matrix.  However, my speed up in reading the data from the device is thwarted since I have to move through the data one vector at a time to parse it into values (cannot type cast a 2D array).
The bytes allotted for each vector are as follows:
U16
U16
U32
U32
U32
Double
Double
U32
U16
U16
If there are any suggestions you may offer, I would greatly appreciate them.  Thank you for your time.

Can you run your VI so the "Byte array" indicator contains data, then right-clich the terminal and create constant. Delete everything else except the constant and the conversion code. (alternativley, do the same with the 1D array a few steps earlier)
You have way too many local variables and associated hidden indicators. "Tracematrix" and "trace" belong in shift registers. No hidden indicators needed. Why do you read "trace" twice in parallel in the last inner frame? Why not read once and branch the wire?
(For reference, here my earlier code, but dealing with arrays)
