Is this 8-byte data string actually a string? Are the characters in the string the letters, or are you showing hex values? Ultimately you want to use Type Cast:

I often use this functions because I can select endianess for non Labview native data

Converts binary string to the type wired to type. binary string should contain flattened data of the type wired to type. You also can use this function to specify the byte order, or endian format, of the data in the binary string.
