LabVIEW represents numeric data types as floating-point numbers, fixed-point numbers, integers, unsigned integers, and complex numbers. The difference among the numeric data types is the number of bits they use to store data and the data values they represent.
(Windows) LabVIEW can process data only in the ranges shown in the Numeric Data Types Table, but it can display in text format a range of ±9.9999999999999999E999.

- Floating-Point Numbers
Understand IEEE 754 floating-point numbers in LabVIEW, including rounding errors, comparison tolerance, and SGL, DBL, and EXT formats.
- Fixed-Point Numbers
Fixed-point numbers represent rational numbers within a user-specified range and with a user-specified precision.
- Integers
- Unsigned Integers
- Complex Numbers
Complex numbers are concatenated versions of floating-point numbers with a real and an imaginary part. Labview includes CSG, CDB, and CXT floating-point numeric data types.
