ni 6587 serdes channel serial input/output

[incisive]

Hi
I am confused regarding the usage of serdes channel clip.
I need to both acquire and generate lvds serial bitstream and save it in 0 and 1 form i.e.
1. read a tdms file of 2 channels with 1,0 bitsream data.
2. acquire serial bitsream from external 2 channels and save it in tdms file.
As far as I know, the serdes channel clip aquires U16 data on each channel. then combines 10 bits keeping 6 unused and outputs that on port. How do I prevent each channel from deserializing..and simply save the bitsream in tdms file. I want my lvds data in 0, 1 form. please help.

Is there anyone who can explain how to acquire lvds serial bits through serdes channel?

Hi incisive,

One approach you can take is to take the U16 data after it is acquired and convert it into a binary array.  For example, the Number to Boolean Array function may accomplish what you are looking for.
