Is there a way to convert raw data into a JPEG picture right away?

Hi,
I have raw jpg data coming through the serial line.
Can I convert this into a jpg image right away?

Thanks,
Van

yes, there wa s nice VI added in LV 7 that makes this very easy.

convert (parse) your serial read, so that the string is converted into a 2D array of integers. Then call these 3 VIs Draw Unflattened Pixmap >> Picture to Pixmap >> Write JPEG File

Before LV 7, I forget if there is a nice VI to help you (I don't have a pre LV 7 version of LV on this machine, so I can't check...)
