Write bmp to binary file issues

Hi,

I have a BMP text string I have obtained from a Yokogawa oscilloscope. I can write this file directly to a .BMP but the binary write appends 4 bytes to the beginning of the BMP string that makes it an invalid BMP format. Removing those 4 bytes with a text editor, saving, and reopening the file will make it valid which can be opened by any image viewer.

I have also tried the regular write text to file function but it makes the image jarbled, however, does not append the extra 4 bytes as binary write does.

And I have tried the recommendation from this post but the BMP file is also jarbled.

Here is my VI:

Writing file with binary write, extra 4 bytes...

I don't see the 4 bytes here in the data string!
