What is the difference between these two type defs?

[RTSLVU]

One gives a coercion dot, I have checked and they are both the same representation (U16)

Hmmmm...

Given only that image, I'll venture that they are simply two different type defs with the input (assuming both VIs are the same) being defined by the top version while the bottom is just similar. Going on that theory, the coecion is just telling us they are differnt in the event the actual definition may be diferent.

A quick look at the VI hiarchy while showing the type defs should help rule out my theory.

It doesn't matter if they are the same representation. If they are different typedefs you will get the dot.
