New VIs which show the FP data representation in different formats.

[MimiKLM]

It'd be usefull to explicitly see the figures as they look like coded in different FP formats and flavours. The main set of FP format is:

Floating-point precisions
IEEE 754: 16-bit: Half (binary16) 32-bit: Single (binary32), decimal32 64-bit: Double (binary64), decimal64 128-bit: Quadruple (binary128), decimal128 Other: Minifloat · Extended precision Arbitrary precision

The new VI(s) would be greatly welcomed.

Can you clarify your idea some more?  I don't understand what you are asking for in having an appearance of a number on the front panel be different based on its representation in memory.

[MimiKLM]

I was thinking of VI like that:

one overloaded input SGL, DBL, EXT,

four outputs (let say hex string)

1. full number representation

2. mantist

3. expotential

4. sign value

This VI could be a polymorphic one. Each of polymorphic instance could represent different type of FP coding.

I also don't understand what this idea is asking for. Please provide some example screenshots of what you're asking for so it's more clear. Can't Kudo an idea if you can't understand it.

I think he wants a decomposition of floating point values into its different "components" used for internal representation.

In the form of a VI with a polymorphic input (SGL,DBL,EXT) and 4 outputs 🙂

I don't feel the need for this, but the VI here might help you:
