Raster Pixel Type

Question

Hey there folks,
Does anyone know how to define the pixel type when creating a raster image from a polygon shapefile?
I would like to have a 16 Bit [unsigned] integer but I keep getting a 32 Bit floating point pixel type....granted, I have not noticed any options to define the pixel info. while going through the conversion.

The reason for this is because I need to perform a "MAJORITY" statistic, which is not available for floating point types.
