NLZ is an instruction on the ND platform. It converts the number in the A register to a standard form floating number in the floating accumulator, using the scaling of the NLZ instruction as a scaling factor.
For integers, a scaling factor of +1610 will give a floating point number with the same value as the integer. A larger scaling factor will result in a higher floating point number. Because of the single precision fixed point number, the D register will be cleared.
Example
- NLZ+20 (code 151420) Convert from integer to floating point.
