The following table displays the numeric data types available in LabVIEW.
Numeric Data Type | Bits of Storage on Disk | Approximate Number of Decimal Digits | Approximate Range on Disk |
---|---|---|---|
Extended-precision floating-point | 128 | varies from 15 to 33 by platform | Minimum positive number: 6.48e4966 Maximum positive number: 1.19e+4932 Minimum negative number: 6.48e4966 Maximum negative number: 1.19e+4932 |
Double-precision floating-point | 64 | 15 | Minimum positive number: 4.94e324 Maximum positive number: 1.79e+308 Minimum negative number: 4.94e324 Maximum negative number: 1.79e+308 |
Single-precision floating-point | 32 | 6 | Minimum positive number: 1.40e45 Maximum positive number: 3.40e+38 Minimum negative number: 1.40e45 Maximum negative number: 3.40e+38 |

Complex extended-precision | 256 | varies from 15 to 33 by platform | Same as extended-precision floating-point for each (real and imaginary) part |
Complex double-precision | 128 | 15 | Same as double-precision floating-point for each (real and imaginary) part |
Complex single-precision | 64 | 6 | Same as single-precision floating-point for each (real and imaginary) part |
