    Long format (Signed Double word) A Long format data is coded with two words (of 16 bits). In the memory range of the ATEQ device or when they are transmitted, both words are coming in the following order: — The first word is the least significant word —...
  • Page 7 Numerical value All the numerical values are treated with the Long format with fixed comma (10 Thus, their value is expressed in thousandths of unit. So, this value must be multiplied by 1000 to get the value in units. For example, a value of 207055 represents 207.055. So, any numerical value must be divided by 1000 to get the real value: —...
