10.3.4.3 Data Types, NAN, and ±INF
NAN and ±INF are presented differently depending on the declared-variable data
type. Further, they are recorded differently depending on the final-storage data
type chosen compounded with the declared-variable data type used as the source
(table Variable and FS Data Types with NAN and ±INF
(p. 433)
). For example, INF
in a variable declared As LONG is represented by the integer -2147483648.
When that variable is used as the source, the final-storage word when sampled as
UINT2 is stored as 0.
