Setting Output Representation in Numeric Functions

[DarkLordOfG]

Often when using the rounding functions and other numeric functions you need to convert to a particular data representation.  it would be nice if this was built in:

Not sure if you are aware or not, but you can do this for some functions.  (Rounding doesn't seem to be one of them)

Note the little blue dot on the output of the addition

My experience with setting the output configuration is that outside of FXP I am not really happy. I like the explicit coercion myself, I just hate fishing through all of the types for the right one. Happily I did a quick search before posting a duplicate idea, I would prefer the conversions remain visible with this idea implemented. http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/A-universal-conversion-bullet/idi-p/918414

This works for configuration options where the output wire clearly shows the configuration, such as the difference between Compare Aggregates and Compare Elements on the Equals node. But if the output wire leaves it ambiguous about the configuration of the node -- is that blue wire an int32 or an int8? --most users demand some indication on the node itself about the configuration. The lack of such decoration is why I don't use the output type configuration options for the nodes that support this today -- and adding that decoration would be really junky, so it's just cleaner, to me, to add the conversion bullet.

Maybe they could just add small text (I32, D, S, etc) to the icon or have it come up when you simply hover over the vi.
