Links from double, float, long, integer

The following summarize links from one of the simple number data types (double, float, long, or integer, described below as “number”), to another data type:

A number-to-string or number-to-statusString link results in the string value of that number, for example “78.30” The link also has a “Format” converter property based on a text string, with a blank default value. The blank Format outputs all existing digits with no formatting.
In the Format property, you can enter a Format value using pound signs (#) for digits, 0 numeral(s) for leading/trailing zero(s), and placeholder separators, such as a comma (,) for grouping and/or period (.) as decimal separator. Some Format value examples:
- ###,###.### — where a source number 123456.789 is string formatted as 123,456.789
- ###,## — where a source number 123456.789 is string formatted as 123456.79
- 00000.000 — where a source number 123.78 is string formatted as 000123.780
A number-to-boolean link or number-to-statusBoolean link has a “False Value” converter property, with a default value of 0, such that any number value other than 0 results in a boolean true. If needed, “False Value” can be edited to specify a different value to associate with false.
A number-to- “different simple number type” link results in that number, unless outside the range of the target data type. For example, a double-to-integer link with a source value of 2147484000 (exceeding max integer value of 2147483647) will result in the integer value of “max” (2147483647).
A number-to-statusNumeric link results in that number.
A number-to-statusEnum link results in that number, unless outside the ordinal (integer) range of a statusEnum data type. For example, a double-to-statusEnum link with a source value of 2147484000 (exceeding max integer value of 2147483647) will result in an Enum (ordinal) value of 2147483647.
A number-to-Time link results in that number of milliseconds added to the base time of 12:00am midnight (00:00). For example, a float value of 900000 is seen as Time 12:15am (00:15).
A number-to-absTime link adds that number of milliseconds to the Java “epoch” date/timestamp of December 31 1969 7pm EST. For example, a long value of 1296509138929 results in an absTime value of January 31 2011 4:25pm EST.
A number-to-relTime link adds that number of milliseconds to 0ms. For example, an integer value of 4800000 results in an relTime value of 1hour 20mins, or -108000 results in -1min 48sec.
