Proposal: Add support for little-endian Proposal: Add support for little-endian samplessamples
Rationale:Rationale:– Modern acquisition system (and processing Modern acquisition system (and processing
systems) mostly use little-endian CPUssystems) mostly use little-endian CPUs– Converting to and from big-endian samples costs a Converting to and from big-endian samples costs a
lot of processing time and increases the cost of the lot of processing time and increases the cost of the systemssystems
– Comment: This only really applies to sample Comment: This only really applies to sample formats which maps directly to a CPU data type. formats which maps directly to a CPU data type. Formats like 8015 or 8036 will not benefit much.Formats like 8015 or 8036 will not benefit much.
