Simulink 'x' bit shifter - serial to parallel

Hello,

My inputs into my model all come from I/O pins serially. Therefore, I need to create a serial to parallel block to be able to use my inputs.

1. Is there a serial to parallel block available for Simulink for free somewhere?

2. I am currently trying to implement it using 16 d-flip flops connected to each other end to end.And than tapping each d-flip flop and using a 16 wide mux to make it one line. However, simulink sees this as a [16] array instead of an int 16 scalor. What is the easiest way in Simulink to take 16 boolean input lines and make it into a single int 16 signal?

Thank you
