real_32

[anatolia_levent]

hi everybody
 I use LabWindows CVI ver.5.0.1, I want to read a data array from test measurement, this measurement send data array with real32 format. But I can't read this array, because I can't find this format in LabWindows CVI program:((
 Can anybody help me and explain me how can I read this data and how can I obtain Real32 data format in my labwindows program?
 Thanks a lot...

If your real32 format conforms to the usual IEEE 754 specification then CVI should be able to read the data directly into variables of type float. If it is not to this specification than you will need some form of translation function - this need not be difficult, as long as you know all the details of the format. Wikipedia is a useful source of information in this area - I have used it in the past to uncover some obscure number representations.
