Long Integer - The Input data will be converted to signed integer format,
then output. Signed Integer format includes only the digits to the left of the
decimal (XXXXX.)
The advantage of using Long Integer format is that this format will generally
consist of a fewer number of bytes, hence serial transmission of the data
for HyperTrack will be slightly faster. The number of bytes will dynamically
size, from 1 to 4 bytes, according to the magnitude of the Output.
The disadvantage of Long Integer format is that numerical precision will be
lost if incoming data is in floating point format. Precison will be lost in the
conversion to integer format (eg 26.3 becomes 26). If large numbers are
processed, this loss of precision may be negligible (eg 36785.2 becomes
36785).
