I have an issue concerning the datatype I get while reading from a SPS(=PLC) with Labview. 

[![S7 read](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XGjqH.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XGjqH.png)

I get a 1D array of 32 bit integer values out of the S7Read\_VI which I have to interprete as float values as those values are of type REAL in the SPS.

Labview displays me numbers like this: `1131655987` which is supposed to be 243.7 (when interpreted as float).

The s7Read\_VI also offers reads of type REAL itself, but somehow this does not work (some colleagues also noticed that issue).

I am now trying to interprete those numbers (`1131655987`) as floating point numbers in labview and up to now did not come up with a valid solution.

Does andybody have an idea how i can interprete a decimal number as a floating point number? a conversion like SGL shown in the picture, does not make sense i believe, as the numner is already float and just displayed as decimal.

Best regards,
