TypeConversion

Overview

Converts between numeric data types

Discussion

This module converts between various 32-bit and 16-bit data types. The input dataType is inherited from the input wire. The output dataType is specified as a module argument.

When bypassed the module is still active and continues to perform the conversion.

{
ModuleInstanceDescriptor instance;            // Common Audio Weaver module instance structure
INT32 inputType;                              // Specifies the dataType of the input
INT32 outputType;                             // Specifies the dataType of the output

Matlab Usage

File Name: type_conversion_module.m 
 M = type_conversion_module(NAME, OUTPUTTYPE) 
 This modules converts between numeric data types.  For example, from 
 fract32 to floating-point.  Arguments: 
    NAME - name of the module. 
    OUTPUTTYPE - this specifies the type of the output data.  Allowable 
        values are:  0=float, 1=fract32, 2=int32, 3=fract16
