Binary to Real Conversion (BTOR)
The Binary-to-Real instruction converts a binary value in the
accumulator to its equivalent real number (floating point)
format. The result resides in the accumulator. Both the binary
and the real number may use all 32 bits of the accumulator.
NOTE: This instruction only works with unsigned binary, or decimal values. It will not work with signed
decimal values.
In the following example, when X1 is on, the value in V1400 and V1401 is loaded into the
accumulator using the Load Double instruction. The BTOR instruction converts the binary
value in the accumulator the equivalent real number format. The binary weight of the MSB is
converted to the real number exponent by adding it to 127 (decimal). Then the remaining
bits are copied to the mantissa as shown. The value in the accumulator is copied to V1500
and V1501 using the Out Double instruction. The handheld programmer would display the
binary value in V1500 and V1501 as a HEX value.
