NAME

dbf: convert FFP dual-binary number to FFP format

SYNOPSIS

fnum = dbf(exp, mant);

FUNCTION

Accepts a dual-binary format (described below) floating point number and converts it to an FFP format floating point number. The dual-binary format is defined as:

exp bit 16 = sign (0=>positive, 1=>negative)

exp bits 15-0 = binary integer representing the base

ten (10) exponent

man = binary integer mantissa

INPUTS

exp: Binary integer representing sign and exponent
mant: Binary integer representing the mantissa

RESULT

fnum: Converted FFP floating point format number
