Thanks!  The code seems to be working properly now, thanks to the suggestions of Raven's Fan and Altenbach.  The original problems were that 1) the wires needed to be reversed on the Join Numbers function and 2) the data needed to be typecast to floating point.  Attached is the final version of the code (Altenbach, your second post was 100% correct, producing numbers which were the same as the display on the instrument). 
I'm still a little confused about the typecast function; what should the "type" input be changed to?    I read the help section in Labview, but am still unsure about what this should be changed to.

The type input is just that, a type. It determines the wire type that exits on the right. (The values in the type input are irrelevant!)
 
All you need is a 1D array of type SGL. The array can be empty.

Now i understand!  I thought the values in the array had meaning.  Thanks, Christian!
