Hi all, 
Instead of copying and pasting, I will just add a link to my original post about my request for help: 
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...message.id=2335 
Basically, I am having to decode the raw values based upon a CAN message Cluster, which defines how it is decoded.  I am having a hell of a time getting it to work and could use any help as needed.  I can't be the first one to have tackled this in LV. 
Thanks,Rich Elswick
