A.3 Data encoding
In the data registers, the numeric values are available in one or two formats with separate
register addresses: 32-bit IEEE floating point format and/or 16-bit signed integer format.
For values that have both 32-bit and 16-bit register available, use of the 32-bit
register is recommended. Some values may exceed the signed 16-bit range even
in normal operation.
