.H 1 "Conversion nodes"

Nodes `ToInteger', `ToMach', `Truncate' and `Power' perform conversion
operations. They are under `objects' and `dsp processing'.

`MachWord' is the native type of an ObjectProDSP simulator. For
the floating point version this is single precision floating point.

`ToInteger' converts its `MachWord' input stream to 32 bit integers.

`ToMach' converts a 32 bit integer input data stream to type `MachWord'.

`ToInteger' and `ToMach' are only available on the floating point
simulator.

`Truncate' limits the accuracy (most significant bit and number of bits)
of its input and writes the result to its output.
Overflow will optionally saturate or truncate. This node reads and writes
data of type `MachWord' but operates internally on 32 bit integers.

`Power' computes the power of a real or complex data stream and
writes this to its output. More generally it computes
the sum of the squares of each `ElementSize' value in a sample.
`ElementSize' is determined from the input data stream.
