terminal. As a reminder, G places a gray dot, called a coercion dot, on the

terminal where the conversion takes place.

For example, consider the For Loop count terminal. The terminal

representation is a long integer. If you wire a double-precision,

floating-point number to the count terminal, G converts the number to a

long integer. Notice the gray dot in the count terminal of the first For Loop.

Note When the VI converts floating-point numbers to integers, it rounds to the nearest

integer. If a number is exactly halfway between two integers, it is rounded to the

nearest even integer. For example, the VI rounds 6.5 to 6, but rounds 7.5 to 8. This

is an IEEE standard method for rounding numbers. See the IEEE Standard 754

for details.

Activity 11-7. Use a For Loop

Your objective is to use a For Loop and shift registers to calculate the

maximum value in a series of random numbers.
