SetupData

Description

Setup data types. This command allows you to select the data types used in the round-robin carousel in the Data (action MakeData) command.

Valid data types are:

Data Type	Size
byte
word	2 bytes
double word	4 bytes
float	4 bytes
quadro word	8 bytes
double	8 bytes
long double	10 or 12 bytes
packed real	10 or 12 bytes
octa word	16 bytes

Naturally, not all data types are usable for all processors. For example, Intel 8051 processor doesn't have the 'double word' type. Furthermore, this command allows you to select a data type for the current undefined item and convert it to data. Please note that if the current processor does not support a data type, you cannot assign it even if you have selected it. If you unselect all data types, IDA will use the 'byte' type.
