David, 
In the odd case the software you're using is expecting full zero-padded
8-bit data (such as 00011001,00001110, etc.) then use %08b as your format
string.

Regards,
Scott Menjoulet

(an ultrasonic scanner). Basically I am storing an array of data in LabVIEW
and I want to convert it to a suitable state for the imaging software. The
software requires a text file which contains the data in 8 bit binary
numbers, comma seperated. The array I currently have stores integers. Is
there any way that you know of to convert integers to binary in LabVIEW? Or
if there's some function that writes binary to text files? I'd appreciate
any suggestions anyone has on this.

"array to spreadsheet file", function and give it a %b format string with a
"," (comma) delimiter. Convert your array to U8 first so it is only 8 bit
values.
