Which Component is the limiting factor?

I did a lot of reading I am am successfully receiving data from the instron in block format.  I even was able to remove the header, typcast, split the 2D array, and plot the data.

 The only problem I am having now is that the block data from the instron is in little-endian format and the type cast function expects big endian format.  Is there a simple solution for this?

"Swap Bytes" VI.  Is this what you are after?

Bill:

Thanks for tip.  I think swap bytes will work great for uint16 but I am using uint32.

I think I will try array destructor and combine bytes.

There's also "swap words."  🙂

After fighting with the Instron syntax I finally got the data logger to work and I also got labview to process binary blocks of data.  Thanks to every who helped.
