The updated code works the same with Status([1:12]) as it does with
vector(Dstc["StatusW"]).
type Status
Valve1::Vector{Bool}
Valve2::Vector{Bool}
Valve3::Vector{Bool}
Valve4::Vector{Bool}
Valve5::Vector{Bool}
Valve6::Vector{Bool}
Valve7::Vector{Bool}
Valve8::Vector{Bool}
# Constructor for Status type
function Status(vals::Array{Int64})
l = int64(length(vals))
Valve1 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve2 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve3 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve4 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve5 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve6 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve7 = Array(Bool,l)
Valve8 = Array(Bool,l)
# Parse Inputs
for i=1:l
# Byte 1
Valve1[i] = vals[i] & 2^(1-1) > 0
Valve2[i] = vals[i] & 2^(2-1) > 0
Valve3[i] = vals[i] & 2^(3-1) > 0
Valve4[i] = vals[i] & 2^(4-1) > 0
Valve5[i] = vals[i] & 2^(5-1) > 0
Valve6[i] = vals[i] & 2^(6-1) > 0
Valve7[i] = vals[i] & 2^(7-1) > 0
Valve8[i] = vals[i] & 2^(8-1) > 0
end # End of conversion
new(Valve1,Valve2,Valve3,Valve4,Valve5,Valve6,Valve7,Valve8)
end # End of constructor
end # End of type
statuses = Status(vector(Dstc["StatusW"]))
