DEFINITION
Multiplies the input Input by Mult and divides by Div. The result is a
two word output consisting of a least significant word Out LSW, and
a most significant signed integer Out MSW. If the result is a value
between 0 and 65535, Out LSW contains the value and Out MSW is
0. For values less than 0 the sign bit that indicates the negative value
is bit 15 of Out MSW. When Div is equal to 0, the result of the scale
block is 0.
INPUTS
Input — A signed integer between
±
32767.
Mult — A signed integer between
±
32767.
Div — A signed integer between
±
32767.
OUTPUTS
Out LSW — A least significant result word value representing bits
0–15 of a 32 bit output value.
Out MSW — A most significant result word value representing bits
16–31 of a 32 bit output value.

DOUBLE WORD VALUES
Both the Most Significant Word and the Least Significant Word are
interpreted together by the function algorithm as one word when
using 32 bit values. The range of a double word value is
±
2,147,483,647. The range of the more common, signed single-word
16 bit node is
±
32767.
