Hi, I'm using a self written c# programm to aquire data from a sensor. I'm serializing the sensor data into a byte Array and send them to a specific ip/port via udp. example of sensor data: uint16 ValueX => 2 Bytes int16 ValueY => 2 Bytes double ValueZ => 4 Bytes => 8 Bytes => convert to bytearray[] => while loop start => udp send => while loop end ... in Labview: udp receive ... > geting a string array => converting from string to unsinged bytearray ... NOW i want my datatypes back 😞 .. anyone got an idea ? is their a efficient solution? with regards SuperK

LabVIEW Bytestream format is by default Big Endian, while most Windows applications use the i386 default Little Endian. The Typecast function has always and still uses Big Endian. For the Unflatten function you can select what Endianess to use since about LabVIEW 8.2.
