Converting ViInt32 array to a ViChar array

[MarkKochJr]

Hi I am trying to convert an ViInt32 array to a ViChar array string.  The pulse pattern generator that we used previously went obsolete, and the replacement uses a different way of downloading the pattern into memory.

This is what I have:

ViInt32 data_buffer [16384];  // A buffer that contains 16384 of 1's and 0's. i.e. [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0.....] This pattern is built using multiple loops.

The new device wants it to be a ViChar[ ]. // For example, [11110000.......]

Is there any way to easily convert my integer array of 16384 1's and 0's into a character string?

Thanks!

ViChar should behave like a normal string, that is you should be able to do something like this:

ViInt32  a[16384];
ViChar   b[16384];
int         i;
 
for (i = 0; i < 16384; i++) {
   b[i] = 48 + a[i];
}

 The output is a chan of characters "0" and "1" mirroring the content of the int array.
