real to word conversion

[SBC]

Hello,

I need to convert a real number (single-32 bits) to words, I mean to split the real 32b into 2 of 16 bits.
I have tried the conversions VIs but then I lose the decimals. The precision of the real (number of decimals) is variable.
Thanks for any suggestion about!

If all else fails, you can always write the real
number to a binary file, then read two UINT16 out
of the file.

LabVIEW had a data manipulation palette you might find useful. functions >> advanced >> data manipulation. There is a function for breaking a number into words on that palette.
