We would like the capibility to use the recipe object to pass 32-bit floating point tags to 16-bit unsigned integers and vice versa. We have a critical project underway that is heavily dependant upon this option. Can this feature be available on your next release and if so when?

Huh?
So how would you want to convert -12.3456 to an Unsigned Integer?

I am sorry if that was misleading. I am not trying to convert a fractional number to a whole. I am limited to either 32-bit floating point numbers or 16-bit integers. I use floating point because of overflow issues with 16-bit integers. But, because of limitations in the C-More software such as not being able to use floating point in the PLC-Panel options I am stuck. I am going to pass whole numbers as floating point so I need this ability to use some of the above mentioned features. I hope you have a better understanding of what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks for the reply!
