title: How (in matlab/simulink) to convert an octetstring to a short array of doubles?
body: <p>I want convert an octetstring to a short array of doubles. The challenge is to compress more then two characters to a double value. One character is easy (just use the value of the character and convert it to a double). So an 'a' can be converted to '97.0' . Two characters can also be simple. 'ab' can be converted to '97.98'. But how two convert three characters to a double? Please take into account rounding in matlab. </p>
  
  <p>The reason why I want to do this is that all data needs to be sent to another product which only accepts doubles.</p>
