Converting decimal strings in the array to IEEE 754

[ace2light]

Hi 

I would like to ask how do I convert data collected in decimals strings in the array using Modbus API library read holding register value to IEEE 754. The attached photos are the front panel, the block diagram, the manual calculations of the final value I would like to have and the VI program.

Thank You.

Hi ace,

it can be so easy:

Note that in Gerd's picture, the orange zero constant is set for SGL representation.

It is a good idea to show the label on the constant and type in "SGL" to document clearly what is going on with that typecast.

Hi RavensFan,

yes, I forgot that label. I only wrote the label for the input array.

But on the other hand it is quite clear because of missing coercion dots on that SGL indicator…
