Parsing an Array of Binary Numbers
The response window displays data in binary form, ASCII form, or binary form and ASCII form together. Use the pull-down menu below the Byte index column of the response window to select the form in which to display data in the response window.
Use the Instrument I/O Assistant to parse a single binary number or string or an array of binary numbers. Complete the following steps to parse an array of binary numbers.
- In the Binary representation column of the response window, click the first binary value of the array you want to parse. Selections appear on the Data Type tab.
- Select the type of token you want to create. The token appears as a highlighted data selection in the response window.
- Place a checkmark in the Array checkbox on the Data Type tab.
- Enter the length of the array in the Array Size text box, or use the pull-down menu to select a value you entered previously.
Note You can enter an array size in elements or bytes. If you want to enter the array size in elements, select element(s) from the element(s)/byte(s) pull-down menu. If you want to enter the array size in bytes, select byte(s). 
Tip Double-click an array to collapse or expand it for easier viewing. - Enter a name for the token in the Token name text box. You use this name to reference the token in the application.
- To change the data type of a token, right-click the token and select a new data type from the Data Type shortcut menu. You also can click the token and select a new data type from the Type pull-down menu on the Data Type tab.
You can remove a token by right-clicking the token and selecting Remove Token from the shortcut menu. You also can remove all tokens by clicking the Clear parsing button.
