Re: Variable rollover with Labview (suggestions?)

I've included a few options, all assume that rollover is 100.

Which of the following behaviors is correct?
1) 112 becomes 12
2) 112 becomes 100
That's the trouble. I want it to roll in both directions. Say I'm working with degrees, so I have the rollover set to 360. I need it to reset back to zero when it turns past 359, but I also need it to go to 359 when it goes past zero if it's turning the other direction.

Also, would it help to temporarily use a 32bit int to avoid overflow, and then truncate back down?
I'll consider that, and see what I can do without too much hinderance to modification.
