Data Type Description
UInt8 Unsigned byte 0 to 255.
Int16 A 16-bit two’s complement integer (-32768 to
32767).
Int32 A 32-bit two’s complement integer (-2147483648
to 2147483647).
Real32 A 32-bit floating point number that conforms to the
IEEE 754 standard (+/-3.40282347E+/-38).
Real64 A 64-bit floating point number that conforms to the
IEEE 754 standard (+/- 1.797693138623157
E308).
PComplex A magnitude and phase component in the form
(mag, @phase). Phase is set by default to
degrees, but can be set to radians or gradians with
the File
⇒ Default Preferences ⇒ Trig Mode
setting.
Complex A rectangular or Cartesian complex number
having a real and imaginary component in the
form (real, imag). Each component is Real64. For
example, the complex number 1 + 2i is
represented as (1,2).
Waveform A composite data type of time domain values that
contains the Real64 values of evenly-spaced,
linear points and the total time span of the
waveform. The data shape of a Waveform must
be a one-dimensional array (Array 1D).
Spectrum A composite data type of frequency domain values
that contains the PComplex values of points and
the minimum and maximum frequency values.
The domain data can be mapped as log or linear.
The data shape of a Spectrum must be a one-
dimensional array (Array 1D).
