Searching the maximum value of single-precision real number
EMAX(P)
These instructions search for the maximum value in the (n) point(s) of single-precision real number block data in the device
starting from the one specified by (s), and store the maximum value in the device areas specified by (d) and (d)+1.
These instructions also store the location of the first maximum value from (s) in the device specified by (d)+2 and the number
of maximum values in the device specified by (d)+3.
*1 The EMAX instruction is not supported by the ST language. Use MAX of the standard function.

■Descriptions, ranges, and data types
■Applicable devices
• These instructions search for the maximum value in the (n) point(s) of single-precision real number block data in the device
starting from the one specified by (s), and store the maximum value in the device areas specified by (d). These instructions
also store the location of the first maximum value from (s) in the device specified by (d)+2 and the number of maximum
values in the device specified by (d)+3.
• The start of the block data in the device specified by (s) is counted as 1st point when the location is counted.
• The following values are stored in (d).
• When (n) is 0, the processing is not performed.
