Numeric Constants

Owning Palette: Express Numeric Functions, Numeric Functions

Negative Infinity

Returns the value -Inf (negative infinity). LabVIEW converts -Inf to the lowest value for a data type. For example, converting -Inf to a 16-bit signed integer returns the value -32,768, the lowest possible value for a 16-bit signed integer.

Positive Infinity

Returns the value Inf (infinity). LabVIEW converts Inf to the highest value for a data type. For example, converting Inf to a 16-bit signed integer returns the value 32,767, the highest possible value for a 16-bit signed integer.

(FPGA Module) The following details apply when you use these objects in an FPGA VI.

Single-Cycle Timed LoopSupported.
UsageThe default data type for these constants is single-precision floating-point (SGL).
TimingThese constants require no clock cycles to execute because they do not include internal registers.
ResourcesThese constants alone consume no resources on the FPGA. However, if you wire one of these constants to a logical operation, FPGA lookup table resources store the constant value.
