Hi,

I'm not sure if this is what you want to know, a single has 32 bits and a double has 64 bits.
Hope this helps,

Paulo

Go to the on-line help and select the numerics>data types topic and then click the Numeric Data Types Table in the help listing. As Paulo said, SGL is stored as 32 bits and a DBL as 64 bits. The table also lists number of decimal digits and the range of each.

A very useful document is also Application Note 154: LabVIEW Data Storage.

(It is also part of the LabVIEW Bookshelf available under the help menu.)
