BINARY format
The BINARY format is a 64-bit floating point binary number specified in
IEEE Standard 728-1982. This is the same data format used by the
HP Series 200 computers. The syntax diagram used for the BINARY
format is shown below:
0 0
Ll L2
DATA BYTE CRLFAE01
This is a block data field initiated by a unique code, the number,
(#)sign. A second byte, (A), designates the data type. L1 and L2 is
the block (L1: high byte, L2: low byte). The count includes all data
bytes and the terminator, CR/LF (2 bytes), if they are used.
Data byte (8 bytes) for BINARY format is represented as follows:
SEEEEEEEEEEEMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFF FFFFFFL
Where:
S is the sign bit of the fractional part
E is the exponent part
M is the most significant bit of the fractional part.
F is an intermediate fractional bit
L is the least significant fractional bit
