How to separate a variant?

Using the DAQmx Counter - Read Pulse Duty Cycle and Frequency example, the data is stored in a variant with both duty cycle and frequency. If you want to separate the two values so they are each an independent array, how do you accomplish that? I've tried indexing the array, which only removes a single pair of values, and not one of the sets. Then, I though to use get variant attribute, but that didn't work either.
