Float64 Function

Syntax

Number Float64(AnyType value)

Return Value

Number

This function converts a type to a number with a representation of Double Precision 64-bit Floating Point. The function cannot convert a container or array data type to a number, and cannot convert an empty string to a number.

Note The TestStand Sequence Analyzer reports an error if an expression specifies to convert a string value and the string value is empty at edit-time. You can use the #NoValidation function to instruct the analyzer to ignore the Float64 expression. For example: Locals.MyNumber = #NoValidation(Float64(Locals.MyEmptyString)) .
