H F00
H
5 Represents high precision
floating point values that have a
resolution of one part in 2 billion
(31 bits) and a dynamic range of
±
10
38
. The first four bytes
represent a 2’s complement
notation in fractional form (2
-n
)
whose absolute value is
between 0.5 and 0.9999. The
fifth byte is the power of 2 in 2’s
complement notation. Floating
point example: 9C

H
= -100. The 2’s
complement notation bit in the 9
= 1 (1001) indicating a negative
number; therefore, 9C must be
re-complemented . 9C = 1001
1100, change 1’s to 0’s and 0’s
to 1’s = 0110 0011 and add 1=
0110 0100 (64
H
). Fractional
binary weights left to right for
0110 0100 are 0 = 2’s
complement positive, 1 = 2
-1
=
1/2 = 0.5, 1 = 2
-2
= 1/4 = 0.25,
0=0, 0=0, 1= 2
-5
= 1/32 =
0.03125, 0=0, 0=0. 64 H = 0.5 +
0.25 + 0.03125 = 0.78125.
07
H =128 D , 128 D X 0.78125 D =
100. A negative sign is
assigned (-100) because the
original 2’s complement binary
bit in the 9 (1001) of 9C was set
indicating a negative number.

The A data format represents
text strings that are 10
characters long.
The
F data format represents
text strings that are 5 characters
long.
Address = A Base + (10 X Number)
