How to Convert 1D Array of Digital Waveform to Decimal Numbers in LabVIEW?

[AksharRatanpara]

Hello NI Community,

I am working on a LabVIEW application where I acquire digital signals using DAQ Assistant. My goal is to convert a 1D array of digital waveforms into two separate decimal (U32) numbers.

Current Approach:

• I am reading 16 digital lines (0-15) as a 1D array of digital waveforms.
• I split the array into two parts:
  • First 8 lines (0-7)
  • Second 8 lines (8-15)
• I need to convert each 1D subarray into a U32 decimal value.

Issue:

• The "Digital Waveform to Binary U32" function requires a single digital waveform, not an array.
• I am unable to directly connect the 1D array of waveforms to the function.

Question:

How can I correctly convert each subarray of digital waveforms into a U32 number?
Are there any LabVIEW functions or workarounds I should use?

Any suggestions or example VIs would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I cannot seem your Vi unless you do a "save for previous" before attaching (LabVIEW 2020 or below)

"decimal" if a formatting convention, not a datatype.

If you have an array and a VI that operates on an element of the array, just wrap a FOR loop around the operation.

You get a chain of digital signals and want to convert that to an integer?

There's a Digital to Binary array. Combine that with Boolean array to number.
