24.8Obtainingthefloatingpointvalue
FromthemonitoredresultsinSection24.6of the binary patterns for D2 and D3, the
floating point value can be obtained.
The floating point value is stored in 2 16-bit Data Registers D2 and D3 as follows:
1. The Mantissa is stored in bits b0–b22.
2. The Exponent is stored in bits b23–b30.
3. The Polarity is stored in bit 31; 0 positive number; 1 negative number.
The weighting value of each binary bit is shown in the table below except for bits
b15 to b0, which in this instance are all at 0.
The floating
