Use the numeric constant to pass a numeric value to the block diagram. Set this value by clicking inside the constant with the Operating tool and typing a value.

If you enter a floating-point number for the numeric constant, the default representation is a double-precision, floating-point number. If you enter an integer, the default representation is a 32-bit integer. If you enter a complex number, the default representation is a double-precision, complex number. For example, if you enter 123, the representation is a 32-bit integer. If you enter 123., the representation is a double-precision, floating-point number. You also can change the numeric representation of a numeric constant.

You cannot change the value of the numeric constant while the VI runs. You can assign a label to this constant.

FPGA Module Details

The following details apply when you use this object in an FPGA VI.

Note The following details are subject to change with each version of the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
Single-Cycle Timed Loop Supported.
Usage N/A
Timing This function requires no clock cycles to execute because it does not include an internal register.
Resources This function alone consumes no FPGA resources. However, if you wire a Numeric constant to a logical operation, FPGA lookup table resources store the constant value.
