Unflatten from String

[Patrick Chiang]

How does "unflatten from string" in LabVIEW work? We're trying to emulate something like this in java for a native java class that gets information directly from the robot. Thanks in advance.

The unflatten will convert a series of raw bytes back into some know data type.

Sort of like type casting to a defined data type.

I do not know Java but there must be some funtion that will take raw data bytes and convert it to some know data type.

This is LV terminology for a more formal process called marshalling. You can look it up in Wikipedia. I'm not familiar enough with Java to know of the equivalent, but I'm almost certain it is there.
