Float32 – standard 32-bit floating-point with 1 sign bit, 8 exponent bits, and 23 mantissa bits.
Int32 – Standard twos complement 32-bit integer. The signed values are in the range [-2^{31},+(2^{31})][−231,+(231)].
Fract32 – Fractional representation where values are scaled in the range [-1 +1)[−1+1) . This is standard integer representation with an implied scale factor of 2^{-31}2−31 .

At the top of the module browser, there is a checkbox to filter based on the different module data types. (See above.). This will filter out modules for hardware that operates on specific sample data type (fract32 for fixed-point). The integer module libraries are typically used for control operations and work on both fixed-point and floating-point targets. The type convert module allows any data type to transfer into the others. This may be destructive if converting to a type with lower resolution.
