Use the Conversion VIs and functions to convert data types.

When these functions convert a floating-point number to an integer, they round the output to the nearest integer, or the nearest even integer if the fractional part is 0.5. If the result is out of range for the integer, these functions return the minimum or maximum value for the integer type. When these functions convert an integer to a smaller integer, they copy the least-significant bits without checking for overflow. When they convert an integer to a larger integer, they extend the sign of a signed integer and pad an unsigned integer with zeros.

Use caution when you convert numbers to smaller representations, particularly when converting integers, because the LabVIEW conversion routines do not check for overflow.
