Data Types for TestStand

Type OLE Automation Type Description
Boolean VARIANT_BOOL Has the value True ( -1 ) or False ( 0 ).
Byte Array SAFEARRAY(unsigned char) An array of bytes.
Color OLE_COLOR A color. Many containers treat colors as 32-bit integers.
Date DATE DATE is a variant time that is stored as an 8-byte real value (double) and represents a date between January 1, 100 and December 31, 9999, inclusive. The value 0 represents December 30, 1899. Adding 1 to the value increments the date by a day. The fractional part of the value represents the time of day. Negative numbers represent the dates before December 30, 1899. LabWindows/CVI users can use the VariantTimeToSystemTime Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) function to convert the variant date to a system time value and then use the GetDateFormat and GetTimeFormat Windows SDK functions to generate display strings. LabVIEW automatically converts the DATE data type to a timestamp.
