Question about passing varying datatypes to the SHAVE processors

I was looking through the API calls and it sounds like they require FP16 when passing in graphs and tensors. Although I have seen the shave processor is capable of int8,int16,int32,fp16 and fp32. Is there way to use these datatypes for the image input and the layers of the graph?

@aj2012 Although the Myriad2 supports various data types, for the NCS we've decided to go with the float16 datatype for performance and precision reasons. Another user has asked a similar question here: https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/225/float-16-or-32-about-py-examples-classification-example-py
