Float data type, or Floating-point number, in LabVIEW include Single, Double, and Extended Precision in both Real and Complex numbers. The actual bitness of the numbers depends on the bitness of the version of LabVIEW. They are as follows:

Type Name Range Representation Icon Terminals
Single Single Precision Float

or 32-bit* Real number

(-Inf to Inf) Single Single Single
Double Double Precision Float

or 64-bit* Real number

(-Inf to Inf) Double Double Double
Extended Extended Precision Float (-Inf to Inf) Extended Extended Extended
Complex Single Complex Single Precision Float

or 32-bit* Real number

(-Inf-Inf i to Inf+Inf i) Complex Single Complex Single Complex Single
Complex Double Complex Double Precision Float

or 64-bit* Real number

(-Inf-Inf i to Inf+Inf i) Complex Double Complex Double Complex Double
Complex Extended Complex Extended Precision Float (-Inf-Inf i to Inf+Inf i) Complex Extended Complex Extended Complex Extended

* platform dependent (assuming 32-bit LabVIEW)
