Functional Description

This program demonstrates how to take a binary array, convert it to a byte array, and write this information to a binary file.  By default, LabVIEW will give each boolean in an array its own byte in the binary file.  Bit packing as done in this example allows for much more efficient memory usage.

Caveats and Additional Notes

This program assumes that the boolean array is one-dimensional.  When writing a multi-dimensional array to the file, you may want to write a true to the 'prepend array array or string size' option of the Write to Binary File.VI.  This will allow you to retrieve the proper array dimensions when reading from this file in the future.  Also, there is a Binary File to Boolean Array example found here to demonstrate how to perform the conversion in the opposite direction.
