floating point number using Modbus RTU DSC LV 8.2

[richjoh]

I'm reading temperature from a Modbus conrolled device. I need to convert a temperature value (17053) read as a double type Shared Variable (SV) and convert it to ieee 754 type to show temp of 79 deg F as shown on the control front panel.

I'm using DSC module LV 8.2. I'm wondering if the conversion is already done in DSC LV 8.5???

seem to find my own answers after putting the post....

I use a typecast to single but I had to change the double to 16 bit integer for the type cast to convert correctly.... see attached png
