VIs and Functions that Support the Fixed-Point Data Type

Not all VIs and functions in LabVIEW support the fixed-point data type. If you wire a fixed-point number to a VI or function that does not support the fixed-point data type, the VI appears with a broken Run button. The following VIs and functions support the fixed-point data type.

Array VIs and Functions

The following Array VIs support the fixed-point data type:

  • Decrement Array Element
  • Increment Array Element

Assert Type VIs and Functions

The following Assert Type VIs and functions support the fixed-point data type:
