UnsignedInteger16
Background & Context
- 
      
- Sequence of unsigned 16-bit integers.
 - Raw binary format.
 
- Equivalent to the Byte format.
 
 
Import & Export
   - Import["file","UnsignedInteger16"] imports any file, returning a packed array of integers in the range 
. - Export["file",list,"UnsignedInteger16"] exports a list of integers in the range 
 to file. - Import["file",{"UnsignedInteger16",elem}] or Import["file",elem ] imports the specified element from file.
 - Import["file",{"UnsignedInteger16",{elem1,elem2,…}}] imports multiple elements.
 - See the following reference pages for full general information:

Import, Export import from or export to a file CloudImport, CloudExport import from or export to a cloud object ImportString, ExportString import from or export to a string ImportByteArray, ExportByteArray import from or export to a byte array  
Import Elements
   - General Import elements:
 - 
      
      
"Elements" list of elements and options available in this file "Summary" summary of the file "Rules" list of rules for all available elements  - Data representation element:
 - 
      
      
"Data" list of integers in the range 
 - By default, Import and Export use the "Data" element.
 - Import["file",{"UnsignedInteger16",n}] gives the n
 16-bit integer from file. - Trailing bytes are ignored if the size of the imported file is not a multiple of the data size.
 
Options
