Swap 16 (16-bit Data Swap) | This option swaps bytes for all word or double-word-sized data. The following diagram shows an example of byte-swapping:  Almost all data types will be influenced by this option except INT16 / UINT16 |
Swap 32 (32-bit Data Swap) | This option swaps words of all double-word-sized data. The following diagram shows an example of word swapping:  Tag values with data types INT32 / UINT32 / BCD32 / UBDC32 / FLOAT FLOAT32 will be influenced by this option. |
Swap 64 (64-bit Data Swap) | This option swaps words of all quadruple-word-sized data. Tag values with data types INT64 / UINT64 / BCD64 / UBDC64 / FLOAT64 will be influenced by this option. |
