10.4.4 Data Type Conversion Functions Convert to
Real Data
The Convert to Real function outputs the real value equivalent of the input data. The
original data is not changed by this function.
When the function receives power flow, it performs the conversion, making the result
available via output Q. The function passes power flow when power is received, unless
the specified conversion would result in a value that is out of range.
Note that loss of precision can occur when converting from Double-Precision Integer to
Real data, because since the number of significant bits is reduced to 24.
