64 Bit Signal Error

[weigsvader]

nice to know!

but thats just another thing, why is there no direct support for string and integers in the xnet api, lf there is support for 12 byte of data why i would just limit a signal to 52-bit...

also most can specs i know have not only dbl values...

FYI, signals are retuned as a double-precision floating point. This only has 52 bits of precision, hence the 52-bit limit.

Yeah that's it.  Here is some more infomation on the double precision in LabVIEW
