double complex to double

[SteveR_]

I am trying to connect the double complex output of a mean block to a double format sink. I was wondering if there is a way for me to convert between these two data types. Please see note for the area of interest.

Hi Stephen,

when you use complex values you should convert them to DBL:

What kind of data are you working with, requiring to use complex values?

Why do you want to compare with plain DBL values?

Can you post the VI you are working on?

Complex numbers have two components:

a) Real and Imaginary component (Cartesian) or

b) Angle to X-axis and Length (Polar)

So what do you expect the (scalar) double value to represent?
