VI Analyzer shows a Style failure when using two fixed-point Add functions together.

When using two Add functions together with fixed-point inputs, the VI analyzer shows a Style failure.
Compound Arithmetic does not work with fixed-point, hence this is an incorrect behavior when working with fixed-point inputs for the Add function.


Workaround:

Use a negate and a subtract instead of an Add function, then VI Analyzer will not call out the style error.
