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 point accumulator (A and D registers), using the scaling of the NLZ instruction as a scaling factor.
The scaling is given to the conversion of -128 to 127 (approximately 10-39 to 1039).
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.
ND-110 48-bit floating point CPU
The ND-110 can have a 48-bit floating point CPU. In the 48-bit floating point CPU a further register (T) and memory location (ea + 2) are used. In this case, the T register is linked to location ea, A to ea + 1 and D to ea + 2.
